The book features over 50 new or revised plates, as well as new vignettes and an expanded section on vagrants. Each species entry includes a distribution map and illustrations showing the species in all major plumages, making it easier to identify and observe birds in the field. The guide also addresses common birdwatching questions, such as how to separate birds of prey in flight or how to identify duck hybrids. With its combination of authoritative text, up-to-date distribution maps, and superb illustrations, this book is an essential resource for birdwatchers and a valuable addition to any bookshelf.
