52 Wildlife Weekends

This first guide to British wildlife experiences packaged into 52 weekend-sized breaks highlights the best of British wildlife - from tiny silver-spotted skippers to gargantuan basking sharks, from seabird skyscrapers to autumn fungi. For both the experienced wildlife tourist and the novice, the suggestions criss-cross England, Scotland and Wales. Stunning colour photographs accompany inspiring itineraries as the author shows when, where and how to see Britain's most exciting wildlife - through engaging description, detailed directions and tips on how to find, identify and enjoy British animals, birds and plants. Each entry gives details on species of interest, the landscapes they inhabit and on how to plan the weekend. A 'practicalities' box summaries details with a thumbnail map. Each entry is also accompanied by an accommodation recommendation.
