A Guide to Birdwatching in Skane: Southern Sweden

Editor: Arne Ohlsson

2008

"Skane, Sweden's most southerly region is shaped like a peninsula that protrudes into the Baltic Sea. Situated on the boundary between Central and Northern Europe, it offers a varied and beautiful landscape and a very rich birdlife. 50 of the main bird sites in Skane are described in detail in A Guide to Birdwatching in Skane, Southern Sweden. The book is amply illustrated with colour photographs and maps. You will be taken on a journey to coastal areas, wetlands, woodlands, lakes and other environments, describing the richness in both nature and birdlife that can be experienced in southern Sweden. Falsterbo in particular - the south-western point of Sweden - and one of the foremost migration sites in Europe, offers the visitor a fantastic experience."

The Game Birds And Wild Fowl Of Sweden And Norway

With An Account Of The Seals And Salt-Water Fishes Of Those Countries

L. Lloyd

Frederick Warne & Co

1867

From the preface:

"My former Works, 'Field Sports of the North of Europe,' aud 'Scandinavian Adventures,' having been well received, I am induced to submit the present volume to the consideration of the Public. In the last of these works a full, though concise, account is given of all the feathered tribe included in the Northern Fauna, with a promise, at some future time, to enter more into detail as to that portion of it coming under the designation of Game Birds, - such as the Capercali, the Black-Cock, the Hazel-Hen, the Ripa, &c. &c. That promise I have now fulfilled, more especially as regards the Capercali, the pride of the Northern forests, which has so lately been introduced into Scotland, and in which we all feel so much interested. The reader will find a popular account of the several kinds of Seals frequenting the coasts of the Peninsula, as also of the Scandinavian Salt-water Fishes, systematically arranged according to Jenyns - those pertaining to the lakes and rivers of the interior having been already treated of in Scandinavian Adventwes."
