Octavo, paperback,304 pp.,colour photographs. The companion volume to the Collins BTO Guide to British Birds, this guide covers all the rare and scarce birds that have occurred in Britain and Ireland five times or more, as of February 2015. 'The Rarest of the Rare' section lists all the species that have occurred fewer than five times; taken in combination, this means that every species of wild bird that has ever occurred in Britain is mentioned. Species descriptions comprise the bulk of the book, and the text and photographs describe and illustrate the key features needed to identify these birds with confidence. Confusion species are included, as are vocalisation details for species whose identification it aids. The photographs have been chosen carefully to show key features that are described in the accompanying text; they also give clues to the usual habitat favoured by the bird and its typical posture. Many of the photographs are seen here for the first time.
