About this book
An easy-to-use, fully-illustrated guide to the birds of Ireland
Irish Birds describes and illustrates 160 of the most frequently occurring birds in Ireland. Specially designed for people with a general interest in birds, the species have been carefully selected to include those that the non-specialist birdwatcher is most likely to see.

• General pages for thrushes, tits, sparrows, finches etc help you to distinguish similar species
Finally, a 'places to visit' section details 74 of the best sites in Ireland for birdwatching, including when to visit, how to get there, and what you will see. Irish Birds is perfect for travelling in Ireland, is an ideal introduction to birdwatching, and makes the perfect gift for all nature lovers.
