Beskrivning
A richly illustrated, state-of-the-art field guide for identifying European passerines in flight—the first of its kindOpening up new frontiers in birdwatching, this is the first field guide to focus specifically on the identification of European passerines and related landbirds in flight. Showcasing 850 stunning and remarkably lifelike colour illustrations from acclaimed bird artist Tomasz Cofta, produced using the latest digital technology, backed up with more than 2,400 photographs carefully selected to show typical flight profiles, it provides detailed and unsurpassed coverage of 205 European passerines and 32 near-passerines. This cutting-edge book brings a new dimension to birdwatching, the concise and authoritative species accounts presenting novel yet essential information on the flight manner of individual birds and the structure and behaviour of flocks—features that are key to identification. It also includes precise transliterations of flight calls, supported by sonograms, and links to a unique collection of hundreds of online audio recordings. Beautifully designed and written in an accessible style, this book will appeal to birdwatchers of all abilities. It presents the latest knowledge on flight identification of a group of birds that is poorly covered in the literature and is therefore a must-have for all professional ornithologists and scientists involved in migration studies.The first field guide to flight identification of European passerines and related landbirdsCovers 205 European passerines and 32 near-passerinesFeatures 850 stunning colour illustrationsIncludes more than 2,400 photos showing typical profiles of each species in flightProvides detailed information on flight calls, with links to online recordings

  1. 5/5 Erik A

    Beskrivning av fåglar i flykten och på avstånd. Unikt bra. Jobbigt med engelsk namngivning, går dock att bemästra. Minst 1/4 inte relevant för svenska "lättskådare". Dock mycket lärorik o kul!

  2. 5/5 Fredrik

    Kan vara något som saknats tidigare, avseende fågelböcker. Ökar chansen till identifiering av fåglar även i flykt. Både fotografier som ger god uppfattning hur aktion är i flykt, samt teckningar som ger mer den traditionella fågelboksuppfattningen hur skådaren upplever fågeln.

  3. 5/5 Monica P

    En bok för alla fågelskådare och fågelfotografer som vill bli bättre på att identifiera fågelarter i flykten. Vackra, detaljrika illustrationer och fotografier, och informativ text om hur man artar fåglar som flyger. Ett bra komplement till de traditionella fågelguiderna!
