Where to Watch Birds in East Anglia: Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk

Description

A definitive site guide to three of Britain's most bird-rich counties - Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. East Anglia - the jewel in the crown of British birding. The counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire represent the most popular region for birders and naturalists to visit in the British Isles, whether to see wintering flocks of geese and waders, rare vagrants, scarce breeding birds such as cranes and bitterns, or just to soak up the countryside, be it fen, broad, coastal dune, breckland, heath or down. This new book by David Callahan is the definitive guide to the birding highlights of the region. It contains a comprehensive review of all the major sites, and many lesser-known ones, with maps, notes on access, and information on target species and when to visit. Where to Watch Birds in East Anglia is indispensable for any birder heading to this bird-rich corner of England.

David Callahan is a nature writer and lifelong birder, with a particular interest in the many great sites in southern England. He has travelled the world in search of birds, and also trained as a taxonomist at the Natural History Museum and the Zoological Society of London. He was staff writer at Birdwatch magazine for more than 10 years.

The book is authoritative, well presented and generally well researched, and is clearly the new definitive guide to the region. -- James Hanlon * Birdwatch *
