finding Birds in...Books
finding Birds in...Books
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:
•Many new sites that have become popular since the first book was written
•Completely new maps for many sites, even more detailed and precise than before
•Brand new information based mostly on Dave’s recent visits to that area
•A thorough review of other published material including literally dozens of recent trip reports published on the internet
•GPS co-ordinates for each site so you know exactly where to turn-off or where to park
The following new titles are now available:
Finding Birds in Morocco: the deserts
Finding Birds in Morocco: coast and mountains
Finding Birds in Southern Cyprus
Finding Birds in South Finland
And the following books have recently had new supplements added:
Finding Birds in Southern Portugal
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 where readers can add their own observations. If you are looking for the latest updates to these books or if you’d like to contribute to keep these details as complete as possible, click here
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.
