the books for birders who want to see more birds on their foreign birding trips.

No other books highlight the best sites so clearly and tell you exactly where to go, in such detail and with such precise maps.

“...you are paying for quality, first-hand information from somebody who knows what he is talking about. When you get into the field armed with a Gosney guide, the small financial outlay you made will quickly become insignificant in comparison to the usefulness it brings — trust me on that one.”                 Richard Bonser, www.birdguides.com (click here for full review)

New series

Dave is in the process of updating his classic series of site guides. Books in this new series will often be based on titles in the original series but will include:

2. •Completely new maps for many sites, even more detailed and precise than before
   

3. •Brand new information based mostly on Dave’s recent visits to that area
   

4. •A thorough review of other published material including literally dozens of recent trip reports published on the internet
   

5. •GPS co-ordinates for each site so you know exactly where to turn-off or where to park

More information online

All the birding sites covered in the new series will be given a page on this website where I have added photos and/or extra notes

and in a FREE app

There’s lots of new information about many of the sites in the app Finding Birds: the latest gen. Please add your own sightings if you visit any of these places to help give everyone else the best possible information.

Sites covered on DVD too

Many of the sites in each book are also featured in a DVD of the same title. There is simply no better way of finding out what a place is REALLY like before you actually go there. The DVD gives you a real ‘feel’ for each area.  It includes footage of birds filmed there on a recent visit so you get an idea of the birds you can see and the sort of views you can expect. All the birds are filmed on a High-Definition  video camera so you’ll want to enjoy them again and again.

Original series

Many of Dave’s original books are still best-sellers, because of the unique detail that goes into the maps and descriptions, designed to get you to exactly the right places to see the best birds.
