About This Item
London & Sydney: Croom Helm, 1986. First edition, 1986. Hardback. 412pp. Dust jacket. A comprehensive review that enables birdwatchers throughout the world to identify any species of wader in the field. It provides information to help both the advanced observer and the beginner to identify not only the species but also, where possible from field characters, the age, sex or racial origin of the bird. Over 1800 birds are shown and each plate has a facing caption that is cross-referenced to the main body of the text. In addition, colour maps show breeding and non=breeding distributions. Book in near fine condition. Book plate of the distinguished naturalist Bryan L Sage to front paste down. Dust jacket very good. Unclipped and just some very slight edge wear.
