Vogelarten der Schweiz

The field guide to the birdlife of Switzerland. Now in its second revised edition, expanded by 35 species. Informative photos and identification features for all 238 species that can regularly be observed in Switzerland. The birdlife of Switzerland is extraordinarily rich due to many different habitats in a small area: from the warmth-loving species at the foot of the Jura mountains to the waterfowl in the central region, and up to the high alpine inhabitants, almost all Central European species can be found in Switzerland, with few exceptions. "Bird Species of Switzerland" describes the identification features, potential confusions, distribution, habitat, and numerous other exciting characteristics of the native species. The profiles are complemented by numerous photos that show the birds in their various plumages. The second edition of this tried-and-true field guide has been updated and expanded with 35 species profiles. "Bird Species of Switzerland" thus includes all species that can be regularly observed in Switzerland, although some may be rare or difficult to spot.
