The perfect photographic guide to the

avifauna of France.

France is known for its remarkable scenery, from the Camargue region and the dramatic peaks of the Alps – home to Greater Flamingos and Spotted Nutcrackers respectively – to the vast, tranquil woodland where Black Woodpeckers can be found nesting. Situated at the crossroads of bird migration, its varied natural landscape provides an exciting destination to observe both resident and migrant birds.

This second edition has been expanded to showcase 301 regularly occurring species, each accompanied with stunning photography. Concise text for each species includes details on identification, songs and calls, behaviour, distribution and habitat, with each photo carefully selected to aid identification. A guide to the best birdwatching sites in France is also included.

Portable yet authoritative, this is a great addition to the backpack or suitcase of any wildlife enthusiast visiting France.
