From the murmuration of starlings in the sky and nocturnal owls hooting at night to male wrens building nests to impress potential mates, wherever you are in Britain, there are birds nearby. A collaboration between bestselling author Dominic Couzens and Notes on Nature editor Si'n Duncan, this month-by-month guide is perfect for anyone looking to press pause and watch the birds.

RSPB Birding Year showcases both the birds most likely to be spotted and some of our most intriguing and overlooked bird species. Beautifully presented with stunning photos, this book is packed with practical advice on how to encourage wildlife into your garden, what to look out for and when and species spotlights. It also includes the folklore surrounding some of these species, fascinating facts and activities to support and enjoy Britain's wonderful range of birds.

Dip into this brilliant book throughout the year to learn how to recognise the hooting of a Tawny Owl in October, where to spot Peregrines nesting in cities in June, and what birdfood is best for supporting hungry garden birds in January.
 
Written in an engaging tone, this is suitable for both beginners and those keen to discover little-known facts about familiar birds. The book is beautifully presented with stunning colour photos to illustrate different birds, and an attractive, accessible layout.
