Helm Where To Watch Birds Series: GB & Ireland

Books About Birds

A guide to books about birds and birdwatching

Home | Index | Search | Links | Contact

A series of in-depth guides to birdwatching in different regions. Each book contains site accounts with information about habitat, timing and access allowing visitors to plan excursions to maximise the chances of getting the best out of the site. The books also contain plans, maps and lists of birds in the region. Most of these guides have gone through a number of revisions.

The books are listed alphabetically by region of country. I have attempted to list all editions of each guide but some may be missing.
