The RSPB Birds of Britain and Ireland is the most advanced multimedia reference tool available to UK birders. The program contains comprehensive illustrations and photographs of all the species of Britain and Ireland including all major plumage variations, while identification text describes age, sex and geographic variations as well as voice, status and habitats. Detailed colour-coded maps and audio recordings of typical sounds are included for each species. It also contains an identification database and a guide to the best birding areas adapted from the bestselling Where to Watch Birds in Britain. The single CD-ROM is compatible with both your PC and PDA making data and bird lists transferable between the two. For PDA-only users, a pre-loaded SD-card is available with back-up PC software for down-loading lists to your PC.
