RSPB Pocket Garden Birdwatch

Love the birds in your garden and beyond with this handy pocket guide to the birdlife around you.

Birdwatching is among the most popular hobbies in Britain, and one that can be done on your doorstep. RSPB Pocket Garden Birdwatch contains expert advice on how to provide water, food, and nesting sites to create a bird-friendly environment. It also reveals essential tips on observing birds, including the basic equipment needed.

Profiles of the top 40 British garden birds – each illustrated with in-situ photography – make identification easy, while practical projects include making and siting a nest box, designing a bird-friendly garden, and choosing plants to attract particular species. The book also gives information about seasonal changes in bird behaviour and provides a helpful size-comparison gallery for the most common garden species.

RSPB Pocket Garden Birdwatch is perfect for the novice birdwatcher or families getting involved in birdwatching together. It also helps with participation in the RSPB's annual Big Garden Birdwatch event, which monitors garden bird trends and keeps track of how each species is doing.
