Birds of the Mediterranean: A Photographic Guide

Description

Covering all the species of birds occurring in the areas bordering the Mediterranean, this guide is illustrated throughout with photographs. The regions examined cover some of the most distinctive and bird-rich habitats in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, places as popular with sun-seeking holiday-makers as they are with birders. Seeking to appeal to both audiences, the guide features photographs of the region's birdlife, with concise descriptive text on facing pages. Digital manipulation of the photographs has been used to ensure a consistent depiction of light conditions, making comparisons between the images easier.

Paul Sterry is one of Britain's most experienced birders and wildlife photographers. His many previous books include Complete British Wildlife (Collins). He also runs a wildlife photographic library.

"It is a very clear, well-presented book. The photos are terrific."--Noble Proctor, Ph.D., Ornithologist
