Product Description
If waders, or shorebirds, are fairly new to you, with this book you'll need no other. If you're a birder to the core, you NEED an accurate book on these species & this is it. The authors, John Marchant & Tony Prater, are both biologists & professional conservationists who have been involved in ornithological work, not to mention birdwatching, since infancy. They know their birds & their knowledge is set down here, along with equally accurate & descriptive paintings by Peter Hayman.
Waders are a traditionally confusing group, with plumages varying with age, sex & season - & mostly fairly dull speckledy plumages at that. This book will allow you to identify them accurately. These are the birds you see on mudflats, shingle & shores, moors & mountains, in estuaries, on lagoons, wetlands, woods, grasslands, heaths & hills - they occur only in the nicest places.
