This is a pocket-friendly field guide to 320 species of birds found across the British Isles, including all regular occurring species, from familiar year-round breeding species to winter and summer migrants and most scarcer birds. 

Each bird is described with concise identification text, and accompanied by a distribution map of the British Isles. The photography is mainly by Rebecca Nason, one of Britain's leading wildlife photographers, with each image chosen to illuminate key identification points. 

Unique selling points include bulleted, numbered identification criteria on the photographs, which is absolutely crucial for beginners and which immediately sets this book part from all rival works. And in a noteworthy switch from all other photographic guides, equal prominence is given for sexually dimorphic species to male and female birds.

The book is backed by the RSPB and we expect strong support from them. It is conceived as a photographic sister guide to the RSPB Pocket Guide, which is publishing in July 2022.
