Concise text for each species includes details on identification, songs and calls, behaviour, distribution and habitat, with each photo carefully selected to aid identification. A guide to the best birdwatching sites in France is also included.
Portable yet authoritative, this is the perfect companion for any wildlife enthusiast visiting or living in France.
