About this ebook

A guide to bird behaviour in the British Isles throughout the year, including ID help, top things to see and do each month, facts and folklore, and practical ideas to help birds.

Join Siân Duncan and Dominic Couzens on a journey through the seasons exploring what British birds are doing each month and why. Find out what's happening in parks, gardens and the wider countryside as they reveal how birds live, from courtship and parenting to migrating and the fight for survival.

RSPB Birding Year is packed with information and photos and is ideal for anyone keen to learn more about the birds of the British Isles. Each month includes detailed profiles of five common birds and a more challenging species to try to see, as well as explorations of bird myths and folklore and practical advice from professionals on how to encourage birds into your garden.

Meet the bird that can feed under ice, learn why birdsong is loudest in spring and discover the best birding spectacles to enjoy each season wherever you live, including starling murmurations over our towns , dramatic seabird cities around our coasts and millions of migrating birds that pass over or visit the British Isles each year.
