Le Guide ornitho

This guide covers all birds breeding, migrating, wintering or can be seen occasionally in Europe, North Africa and much of the Middle East. Nearly 900 species are described in detail: dimensions, distribution, frequency, migrations, voices and plumage characteristics according to age, sex, year period. Illustrations of unmatched accuracy and distribution maps accompany the enriched texts that identify all species by the "difference" method.In addition, each group of birds includes an introduction that addresses the main problems associated with their identification or observation: how to differentiate between raptors in flight? Which hybrid ducks can be confused with a particular species? These and many other questions are answered.This third augmented edition has allowed further elaboration of the description.
