The RSPB Handbook of Scottish Birds is the ideal reference for keen birdwatchers and visitors to Scotland alike, and this fully updated second edition is richer and more comprehensive than ever.

This second edition features newly added Gaelic names and updated distribution maps which show resident species, summer and winter visitors, and passage migrants. Concise text offers a 'biography' of each species in simple, non-technical language and incorporates the latest information on the conservation status of each species.
