Identification guide to the Birds of Britain & Europe
North Africa & The Middle East
Welcome to our free guide to The Birds of Britain, Europe and North Africa. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the photographers who have given us permission to feature their work (many from our previous site) and we have also used images that are available under Creative Commons Licences. Other sources include 'embedded' Soundcloud files (our own included), YouTube and the illustrations of MiE Fielding. Over the coming months and years we will be uploading our own resources to creative commons.
A Cautionary Tale
It has taken our team many many months to put this guide together and perhaps the most tiring and utterly depressing aspect of the task has been the realisation of just How Many of the birds featured here are under threat due to human activity. We need to ACT NOW to stop a catastrophe engulfing our natural World, so please consider joining a conservation organisation, whether local or National. Thank you
