British Wildlife is the leading natural history magazine in the UK, providing essential reading for both enthusiast and professional naturalists and wildlife conservationists. Published eight times a year, British Wildlife bridges the gap between popular writing and scientific literature through a combination of long-form articles, regular columns and reports, book reviews and letters.
Conservation Land Management (CLM) is a quarterly magazine that is widely regarded as essential reading for all who are involved in land management for nature conservation, across the British Isles. CLM includes long-form articles, events listings, publication reviews, new product information and updates, reports of conferences and letters.
Covers all 290 species of true finches and sparrows in the world - the families Fringillidae, Carduelidae, Estrildidae and Passeridae - but excluding the weavers (Ploceidae). As with previous guides, there is a comprehensive text covering field identification, voice, geographical variation, habitat & range, migration, food, habits and description. Full colour plates illustrate every species, with descriptive text and colour distribution maps facing the plates. There are introductory chapters covering general characteristics of the four families. This is a short-run reprint of the original edition of 1993.
If you are interested in both these groups of birds, this is the best book on the market.
