The Birds of Ireland

An important tool of a birdwatcher is a good identification guide. Most cover the birds of Europe and few deal exclusively with Ireland. This first photographic identification guide to the birds of Ireland has over 1,600 photos of more than 260 species, in an easy, quick-reference format. With eight to fifteen images per species, the key identification features of each bird are shown, with concise descriptions and pointers to indicate important features. This guide is produced in association with BirdWatch Ireland, Ireland's leading bird-conservation organisation. The purchase of this guide contributes funds to BirdWatch Ireland's conservation and education initiatives to help protect and promote Ireland's wild birds and habitats. similar to: Ireland's Garden Birds by Jim Wilson and Oran O'Sullivan.

Quotes

  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted3 years ago
    Feathers on almost all birds are arranged in groups called feather tracts. These tracts are common to most birds and can vary between species
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted3 years ago
    When identifying birds it is the same thing – think of your humble sketch as a map rather than a work of art.
  • Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted3 years ago
    You do not need a degree in art. In fact, you do not need to be able to draw well at all. If you think about it, if you wanted to give someone directions you would probably draw a map rather than have them remember the directions in their head.
