From pigeons to parakeets, it s impossible not to notice birds in London. But how many more would you see if you knew where to look? Can you really see a striking black-and-white wader like the Avocet, or a graceful bird of prey like a Marsh Harrier or a shy reedbed-dwelling Bittern . . . within Greater London?

Now, this wonderful guide book details the best places all round the capital for watching birds, from woodlands to wetlands, parks to post-industrial backwaters. Illustrated throughout with stunning colour photographs, it tells you where to go, at what times of year, and what to look out for.
