The Birds of Ireland by Jim Wilson

Following the success of 'Ireland's Garden Birds', Jim Wilson and Mark Carmody expand their horizon. An important tool of a birdwatcher is a good identification guide. Most cover the birds of Europe and few deal exclusively with Ireland. This photographic identification guide to the birds of Ireland has over 1400 photos of more than 240 species, in an easy, quick reference format. With eight to 15 images per species, the key identification features of each bird are shown, with concise descriptions and pointers to indicate important features.
