An encyclopedia of the main species of animal, bird and fish found in the British Isles, with beautiful illustrations, detailed specifications and a natural history guide to habitats.
The British Isles provide a temperate climate and a rich
feeding ground for many species of animals, birds and
fish. From puffins in the Scilly Isles to the graceful red
deer roaming the Scottish Highlands, there is a surprising
diversity of life in this part of the world. This accessible reference guide provides essential information about
British habitats and the many and varied creatures found
in them. Native and visiting birds and animals are all
included, so that nature lovers can find out about all the
species that might be seen around the British Isles. With
entries for over 440 creatures, this book will make an
indispensable addition to any nature lover's bookshelf. Illustrated directories feature familiar garden visitors,
such as the common frog, hedgehog, blue tit and
jackdaw, hawks, deer and rodents, as well as rarely seen
animals such as the Western barbastelle bat, the whitebeaked dolphin and king eider duck. Each main entry details the animal's habitat and
distribution, size, food and breeding information,
and includes a description together with helpful
identification advice. Beautifully illustrated with hundreds of artworks,
identification photographs and distribution maps.
