A definitive guide to where to watch whales, dolphins and porpoises in Britain and Europe and how to identify them.
Imagine watching Minke Whales in the light of the midnight sun in Iceland; snorkelling with a wild Bottlenose Dolphin; or sharing a day with a group of Blue Whales against a spectacular backdrop of snow-capped mountains. These are just a few of the whale- and dolphinwatching experiences now available in different parts of Europe, which is rapidly becoming a hotspot for this exhilarating activity. From Scotland and Ireland to Spain and Norway, there are tours to suit every taste: comfortable half-day excursions to two- or three-week expeditions. The first book of its kind covering Britain and Europe, Mark Carwardine's Guide to WhaleWatching is the definitive guide to watching whales, dolphins and porpoises in those waters. A fascinating introduction to whales and whalewatching is followed by a detailed field guide with spectacular illustrations, identification and behaviour tips, dive sequences and distribution maps for all the cetaceans of Europe. The main part of the book provides a comprehensive guide to Europe's major whalewatching sites, covering 19 countries in all.
