This new, practical guide provides systematic advice on visiting good birdwatching areas across the rewarding region of Devon and Cornwall, ranging from woodland walks to remote islands. Areas which have concentrations of birds, or particularly interesting and specialised types, have been chosen for detailed description. By giving the reader unique step-by-step information on which birds occur in each district and at what time, the chances of a successful and enjoyable visit are greatly increased. There is a general introduction to the region's scenery, climate and wildlife, followed by a guide showing how to use the book and how to plan your birdwatching. The main types of habitat to be found in the region are listed, such as lowland heath, open moorland and sheltered coastal bays. Within each habitat the sites of major interest for birdwatchers are mentioned and 'star-rated' for potential - for instance, Porthgwarra receives three stars, the highest rating, as a seawatch point. The main localities are then described fully and information is given on habitat, species, timing and access. Each main site is accompanied by a map which points out all the salient features necessary for good birdwatching. There is also a calendar, summarising the average arrival and departure dates of migrants, and concise list of birds season by season. Size: 8vo.
