Seawatching has been gaining popularity in recent years,
whether watching from traditional coastal sites or from boats
while on specific 'pelagic' trips in search of seabirds, dolphins
and whales. Many seabirds will only be seen in flight, as
they pass by prominent headlands or fly past boats, and viewing
opportunities are frequently brief. This book is the essential
field guide for seawatching, specifically designed to address
the particular problems and limitations with this kind of
birding. Welcome to discover this wonderful world as seawatching
offer!

The
new reprinted edition
During summer 2006 the final copies of the English original
edition sold
out, after only three years on market! However in spring 2007
the book was
reprinted and since then has been available on the market again.
It is
important to note that this is not an updated second edition,
just a
reprint, however the good news is that in addition to a nicer
front cover
design and a lower price, the publisher has tried to re-work
all of the
photographs! |

all reviews of the book
In Birdwatch (1/2004) the reviewer Steve Madge wrote: "The
book is so good
that it's tempting to ask for that little bit more. Surely anyone
prepared to spend £35 on it would be willing to spend
another £10 for a 30 per cent larger version with more
thorough coverage? Roll on the next edition." To
