Where to Watch Birds in Europe and Russia

Nigel Wheatley continues his continent-by-continent guide to the best locales for international birding by turning his binoculars to over 250 of the most productive birding sites in Europe and Russia. Whether you want to know how Golden Eagles are distributed on the Scottish Island of Skye, which birds you'll find in the botanical gardens in Minsk, or where to go if you have your heart set on a Grey Phalarope or Lapland Bunting, this book is the essential travel companion. Though compact and portable,Where to Watch Birds in Europe and Russiacontains a tremendous amount of information on travel, geography, and bird distribution that can be used to plan a trip from scratch or get more out of any itinerary. Wheatley gives excellent coverage not only of the well-trod fields of England and France, but also of countries newly explored by North American birders (such as Romania and Azerbaijan), such bird-rich microclimates as Malta and Greece's Strymon Delta, and several often-overlooked small nations (such as Luxembourg and Moldova). This addition to the acclaimedWhere to Watch Birdsseries will be particularly valuable to birders visiting Eastern Europe, Russia, and other places whose birding sites have not been well publicized.Wheatley, Nigel is the author of 'Where to Watch Birds in Europe and Russia', published 2000 under ISBN 9780691057293 and ISBN 069105729X.
