RSPB Pocket Guide to British Birds is a compact, lightweight and informative field guide, featuring 310 bird species regularly seen in the UK. Species are illustrated in all distinct plumage forms likely to be observed in the wild by renowned bird artist Stephen Message, and a detailed distribution map for the British Isles is also provided. Concise text covers appearance, behaviour and voice - focusing on key identification points - and also outlines where you will find the species, describes its seasonal movements and includes the latest UK population data. Finally, confusion species are cross-referenced, with their most important and easily noted differences from the subject species described. A comprehensive introduction provides a guide on how and where to find birds, and how to make the most useful and rewarding observations for newcomers to birdwatching. Uniquely, this guide also provides images and descriptions for not only a selection of rarer visitors, but also for a range of domestic species and certain commonly observed aberrant forms of more familiar birds, all of which are omitted from most field guides but can cause great confusion for beginners when encountered in the wild. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 11.56 x 1.65 x 16.89 cm | | Isbn 10 | 1472994728 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1472994721 | | Item Weight | 318 g | | Language | English | | Part Of Series | RSPB Spotlight | | Print Length | 272 pages | | Publication Date | 7 July 2022 | | Publisher | Bloomsbury Wildlife | ## Images ![RSPB Pocket Guide to British Birds - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Q7BPr5qUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely easy to read book. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 30 April 2026* Fantastic bird guide.

This bird book is Fantastic and well worth the money, it had brilliant illustration, great facts, where the bird lives and travel. There is so much information iv found it hard to put down. For any bird watchers I believe this book is the right one. Living in the country I wanted to identify what the bird are we have in our garden. This has helped massively.
