Description:
First comprehensive regional avifauna in English. The Iberian Peninsula is one of Europe's most ornithologically varied regions. It includes famous birding hotspots such as the Coto Donaña wetlands, mountainous areas such as the Picos de Europa and the Pyrenees, the Mediterranean cork and holm oak forests of the southwest, the migration crossroads of the Strait of Gibraltar and the steppe-like plains of Extremadura and Alentejo.
Authoritative introductory chapters covering geography, climate, habitats, the history of Iberian ornithology and the composition of the avifauna. Species accounts include every species recorded in mainland Spain, the Balearic Islands, Portugal, Gibraltar and Andorra, including the many vagrants. For each species there is detailed treatment of distribution – with maps of breeding and wintering ranges – habitat selection, population trends, historical and current status, migration and conservation.
