London: Christopher Helm/A & C Black, 1995. Octavo, colour plates, colour photographs, maps, owner's stamp, laminated boards.

Much attention is devoted to the immature and winter plumages, which are generally inadequately described in most field guides, while also dealing in depth with the problems of moult, species and subspecies. The text covers the bird in the field, moult, and the bird in the hand. Each species account is concluded with extensive data on measurements and weight and an itemised key to identification. The text is accompanied by over 40 colour plates by Hans Larsson. The book is completed with a 48-page representative photographic section containing around 200 colour photographs.
