A richly illustrated photographic guide to the shorebirds of the northern hemisphere, covering every species and subspecies in detail, with special emphasis on identification.

Shorebirds are a very popular group of birds among birders of all standards, though their identification is often a challenge. Covering all the species of the northern hemisphere, this photographic guide provides all the information a birder will need at a glance.

Lavishly illustrated with colour photography by the author, Shorebirds of the Northern Hemisphere focuses on specific and subspecific separation and on ageing to provide a complete identification resource. With this important book, it should be possible to identify every species in the region, and even to age it and assign it to a particular race.
