There are maps to show breeding and wintering areas and general notes on their food, voice, habitat, behaviour, nest, nestlings and eggs. There are also estimated population figures. Included are indications of the best places to see wildfowl throughout the Northern Hemisphere." Concise and useful information on each species, with illustrations in each case of both the male and female.
