Product Information

Illustrated with 55 maps, nearly 200 photographs and nearly 1,000 illustrations, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the birds of prey of Europe. That said, I am already looking forward to the fourth edition, in which I anticipate some of the third incarnation's shortcomings will be addressed.

Dies gilt unter anderem für die Gruppen der Säger, Hühnervögel, Taucher, Seeschwalben, Greifvögel, Eulen, Seglern, Spechten, Schwalben, Rotschwänzen, Schnäppern, Meisen, Finken und Ammern.
