Where to watch birds - D. W Taylor

The southeastern corner of England is a densely populated region butone which holds many rich bird habitats. For example, on the southcoast of East Sussex and Kent there are undisturbed shingle beachessupporting nationally important tern colonies, and inland there areSurrey heaths, important for many nationally scarce species likeDartford Warbler and Woodlark. In north Kent there is a network ofimportant sites along the Swale estuary which are of great importancefor passage and wintering waders and wildfowl. These counties alsooften attract large numbers of passage migrants, including vagrantrarities from the continent.
This guide explores the best birding sites in Kent, Surrey and Sussex.Several new sites have been added to this revised and updated fifthedition. Each site is described in terms of 'Habitat', 'Species', 'Access'and 'Birds', and the volume is illustrated throughout with line drawingsand maps of each site. The manual seeks to enable birders to planproductive trips at any time of the year.
