Pocket Guide To Tracks & Signs (Pocket Guides)

A sign-by-sign guide essential for anyone hoping to detect hidden wildlife in Britain and the rest of Europe. There are chapters on feeding signs, homes, droppings, pellets, and tracks of creatures--including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects--with each one divided into simple sections. The book is illustrated with hundreds of the author's line drawings and photographs from a library he has built up over many years. This book is as visually impressive as it is useful in the field, with many stunning full-page images to support the authoritative text. The introduction explains the basics of tracks and tracking and the identification of the signs that you might find. Printed on quality paper, the paperback format with flaps adds to the book's durability in the field and provides built-in page markers for quick reference.
