This comprehensive guide identifies, describes and illustrates over 430 bird species - almost all the birds likely to be encountered in Britain and Europe even in a lifetime of birdwatching. The concise, authoritative text provides full details of the birds' distinctive features and plumage, behaviour, calls and songs, and habitats. Superb colour photographs show each bird in typical stance, while many additional illustrations depict plumage variations and birds in flight or at the nest. There are clear diagrams indicating seasonal abundance and colour-coded maps distinguishing the areas where birds are found at certain times a year.

The purpose of this book is to make suggestions to Parties on the possible contents of their legislation to implement CITES. In addition, this book does not aim to be a comprehensive review of all laws enacted to implement CITES. References made to provisions contained in national legislation are examples to assist in legislative drafting and do not imply that similar or related provisions do not appear in the laws of other parties.
