Where to watch birds in France - Philippe J Dubois

France is a superb country for birds and birdwatching. It offersperhaps the greatest diversity of habitats of any European country,with the peaks and foothills of the Alps and Pyrenees, the spectacularexpansive wetlands of the Camargue, important seabird colonies oncliffs and offshore islands in the northwest, and large areas oflow-intensity farmland and unspoilt forest in the interior.

This guide opens up the best of birding in France to birders livingin or visiting any part of the country. The site accounts are arrangedin a formula which will be familiar to readers of the series - each isdescribed in terms of key habitats, the species to be found there,details of access, and advice on when best to time a visit. There aredetailed maps for many sites, and the book is enlivened with manyattractive line drawings.
