An expanded RSPB guide, now including 56 coastal birds, to help you confidently identify all the species you see on and around British coastlines.
RSPB Handbook of the Seashore is a photographic guide to the diverse marine wildlife found around British coasts. This expanded second edition includes updated accounts for more than 200 marine species by the author of the first edition, marine biologist Maya Plass, and new sections covering 56 coastal birds and 10 marine mammals by birding expert Marianne Taylor.
Each species account includes a photo, description, and details of the species' distribution and zonation, written in accessible text suitable for families, students and anyone who likes to learn more about the wildlife they see when they visit the seashore.
The book features introductory sections about the life cycles and anatomy of species on British coasts, with sections on seaweeds, flowering plants, sponges, cnidarians, marine worms, molluscs, crustaceans, sea spiders, bryozoans, echinoderms, sea squirts, common seashore fish, coastal birds, marine mammals, and strandline species. It also presents information on tidal cycles, where to look for particular marine species, who to call if you come across a stranding, and conservation and climate change issues that affect coastal species.
