This informative and engaging guide for beginner wildlife-watchers and nature enthusiasts describes the mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish and insects commonly seen in the British Isles.

Species accounts include friendly text written by Charlie Elder, beautiful colour photos, fun facts and top tips to help you identify crucial species characteristics while you're out and about. The easy-to-use layout helps beginners quickly find what they are looking for, and the book also includes practical advice and information on a range of fascinating topics, including wildlife ponds, gardening for pollinators and rockpool residents.

Richly detailed and accessible, this helpful guide is a perfect introduction for anyone keen to get outside and learn more about the extraordinary range of wildlife we can see in Britain.
