Flight Identification of Raptors of Europe North Africa and the Middle East

Description:

This is the ultimate flight-identification guide to Western Palearctic raptors. It covers 60+ species, and goes to subspecific level where needed. The geographical area covered is Europe, North Africa, the Middle East including the Arabian Peninsula, and east to Central Asia. This is a photographic guide with stunning images, most of which have never been published before. The text covers every plumage and age in detail, and each species is illustrated with a range of photographs covering all the principal plumages. Please note that this book does not replace, but complements Forsman's other book, 'The Raptors of Europe and the Middle East: A Handbook of Field Identification'. The latter dealt with identification of birds both perched and in flight, whereas the new guide focuses on in-flight identification only.
