Completely re-written book now available

This book is a comprehensive update to the ever-popular Finding Birds in Southern Portugal.

Dave Gosney writes:
«In 2025 I revisited many of the sites in this book and added many new comments and new maps to ensure you still stand the best possible chance of finding the most sought-after birds. Some birds are becoming harder to find so this book is more needed than ever before. It also includes new details on how to find tricky species such as White-rumped and Plain Swifts, Scaly-breasted Munia, Lesser Short-toed Lark, Rufous Bush-robin and Black-winged Kite»
