BOOK: Birds of Prey – As I See Them

GUIDE TO BIRDS OF PREY TRIPS

A new, fully illustrated handbook guides you to the best birds of prey spots in Denmark and southern Sweden. The book also includes a mini field guide with descriptions of 27 birds of prey species and their identifying features.

Nowhere else in Northern Europe can the birds of prey migration compare to the impressive spectacle over Denmark and the Skåne region.

In Birds of Prey – As I See Them, experienced field ornithologist and artist Carl Christian Tofte brings the reader up close to both the birds and his own passion for them. With vivid stories he shares encounters with eagles, hawks, marsh harriers, kites, buzzards and falcons – and describes their characteristic behavior.

Carl Christian Tofte draws the birds of prey he spots in the sky, and shows how even simple sketches or phone photos can be valuable tools for learning to recognize the birds. With his insights and practical tips you'll be ready to experience and identify birds of prey in the field.

from the review "A very beautiful field handbook on birds of prey that will definitely be a great tool for learning to tell the different species apart"
