Hamlyn Photographic Guide to the Waders of the World

Fülszöveg

How do you tell the difference between a Green Sandpiper and a Wood Sandpiper at 100 metres?
Are you likely to see a Sanderling in summer or in winter?
Waders are among the most familiar birds around our coastlines and estuaries, as well as on marshland, but can be difficult to tell from one another because they are so often seen at a distance. The Hamlyn Photographic Guide to the Waders of the World brings together more than 700 colour photographs by some of the world's leading bird photographers, showing waders within their habitats, in a range of different plumages, as you will see them in the field. Detailed field descriptions provide all the information on jizz, size, plumage -both on the ground and in flight - races, calls, habitats, behaviour, range and movements that you will need to help you to identify waders correctly.

Waders, often seen at a distance, can be difficult to distinguish from one another. In the Hamlyn Photographic Guide to the Waders of the World, David Rosair's detailed field descriptions, of jizz, size, plumage, habitats, behaviour, calls, races, movements and range, provide all the clues you need for identification of the world's 212 currently recognized species of wader.
David Cottridge has assembled a collection of more than 700 stunning colour photographs, many of which are published for the first time here, by some of the world's leading bird photographers, showing such all-important clues for identification as differences in plumage: between breeding and non-breeding, adult and juvenile.
As a further aid to identification, the species are grouped to make comparisons between similar species even clearer - this is particularly important where ranges overlap or in distinguishing rare vagrants from more common locals.
In the Hamlyn Photographic Guide to the Waders of the World, the author and photographic editor have pooled their expertise, knowledge and enthusiasm to produce a book which is a must for anyone interested in waders. Vissza
