Dave Gosney’s ‘Finding Birds in...’ books have been ‘must-haves’ for travelling birdwatchers for many years. No other guides provide such precise details with such simplicity and clarity, showing exactly where

to go to see the best species with the aid of Dave’s unique hand-drawn maps.

“...the relevant 'Gosney guide' remains foremost on my packing list, alongside the Collins Bird Guide and a map of the country I'm off to.”

Unique features

Compared to other publications covering the same areas, these books:

1. •Provide the most detailed maps - taking the guesswork out of navigating your way around and pointing out EXACTLY where to drive, walk or look from.
   

1. •Provide text describing what you should look for at numbered points on the maps - nothing could be clearer or easier to follow
   

1. •Are based largely on the authors own experiences of visiting these sites in just the same way as you would yourself. They tell you what you’re likely to find on a brief visit rather than listing everything that occurs occasionally.
   

1. •Highlight the best areas only - and summarise the key attraction in the first paragraph so you can easily decide whether to read on or bother to visit the site. This makes things so much simpler when you are planning your trip - you don’t have to read the whole book.
   

1. •Have a map on the inside cover which serves as an index so you can easily find any site in the book
   

1. •Are light and portable so they’re easy to take with you and use in the field
   

1. •Are available at such a reasonable price that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get the information you need
