Distinctive terrestrial beetles AIDGAP is a handy reference guide for naturalists and enthusiasts.* Straightforward flow chart to identify distinctive beetle families* Also features annotated photos of 21 distinctive beetle species* Designed for identifying living beetles in the f…ield: lightweight, shower-proof and rucksack-sizedIn Britain and Ireland there are roughly 4,000 beetle species within 103 families. Globally about one in every three insects is a beetle, with around 400,000 species currently known and many more yet to be discovered. Their extraordinary diversity in form, behaviour and ecology makes them fascinating to study and observe. But the sheer variety can be daunting for beginners.To make beetle identification more accessible, the latest addition to the Field Studies Council's extensive AIDGAP series is Distinctive Terrestrial Beetles of Britain and Ireland. Practical and visually appealing, the guide focuses on beetle species that you are most likely to see. It features concise written information, high-quality photographs and detailed drawings.The guide includes photographs of 21 species for speedy picture matching and a simple flow chart identification key made up of yes/no questions. Following these leads users to 23 distinctive beetle group illustrations, each accompanied by supporting notes. These illustrations were carefully redrawn from the seminal 1932 work of coleopterist Norman Humbert Joy. For those seeking further detail, the guide also signposts a range of additional identification resources.This guide is part of Field Studies Council's AIDGAP series (Aids to Identification in Difficult Groups of Animals and Plants). Our AIDGAP guides are accessible identification keys, suitable for non-specialists from age 16+. As with all guides in the series, the Distinctive terrestrial beetles AIDGAP underwent extensive testing before publication, by beginners and specialists alike. [9781917154178].

Condition: NEW. 8, col illus, col photos. . Chart. NEW. . This is a new field guide designed for real-world raptor watching.* Features all 16 breeding day-flying species in Britain and Ireland* Silhouettes show each species in flight and when perched* Enables easy comparison between confusable speciesRaptors are one of the most…difficult groups of birds to identify with confidence. Sometimes all you can see are brief glimpses of a distant bird in flight. So unfortunately, traditional bird identification guides based on close-up views of the plumage are not very practical.WildID Raptors is a practical, portable and weather-proof alternative. It focuses on the features you are likely to see, such as size, flight action, wing angle and wing-to-tail ratio.As well as beautiful colour paintings of each species, the guide features silhouettes of each bird soaring, gliding and perching, arranged for easy comparison between similar-looking species. Concise notes outline the key identification characters and habitat for each raptor species. Since behaviour is often diagnostic, the authors include useful hints on flight action and where the bird sits.All three authors and illustrators are experienced birders and field leaders. The guide is based on identification principles that have been field-tested by many users. [9781917154079].

The Distinctive grassland fungi guide covers 40 species of spindles, corals, earthtongues, waxcaps, puffballs and more in Britain and Ireland.Specially-drawn colour illustrations highlight the main features to look out for. Text on the reverse side details key identification features…, size, months and habitat for each species.Fungi are an ancient form of life, diverse and mysterious. You never quite know when and where they will show themselves. Good places to look for the fungi in this guide include grassland, meadows, lawans, parks, churchyards and cemeteries. Although most common in autumn, some may be seen all year round.Unfortunately identifying fungi seems daunting to beginners. Many species look very similar. Moreover many species lack a common name, and even their scientific names are prone to change from time to time! Many fungi identification books although brilliant in the hands of experts look long and intimidating.So where do you start? A good strategy is to learn to recognise common and distinctive species. The authors of this new guide have chosen 40 species that are not easily confused with any others. These include distinctive waxcaps and earthtongues both difficult groups. It is both possible to make reliable identifications in the field without using specialist equipment, and there is no need to collect a specimen.A special extra feature of this guide is an introduction to the CHEGD scoring system. This system uses grassland fungi to help assess a site's conservation interest. In essence, the more grassland fungi species that are present, the richer the grassland.This guide is based upon Mushrooms and Toadstools of Britain & Europe, a four volume series of books published between 2017 and 2023 by Geoffrey Kibby, an experienced mycologist and talented artist.

Condition: NEW. 12, col illus. . Chart. NEW. . WildID Waders of Britain and Ireland guide is for beginners and improvers. It includes 28 wader species known to occur in Britain and Ireland on a regular basis. Waders are an interesting group of birds to look for and many species can be seen all year round. They are most often fou…nd by the edge of water and in open areas, near the coast and inland.Many wader identification resources are not very practical for outdoor use, as they are based upon plumage and assume a good view of the bird. This laminated fold-out guide helps to overcome these limitations.It includes a simple identification key, bird silhouettes, brief species notes and stunning artwork. The illustrations include both standing birds and birds in-flight. Bill length, body size and bill curvature are used to quickly narrow down the species options and there is help with difficult species pairs, such as the tricky godwits. It is ideal for 'real world' wader watching where the weather may be a challenge and views of birds distant. Under such conditions colour is of limited use. The identification principles used throughout the guide have been field tested over many years utilising a wide range of volunteer users.The authors are both experienced birders. The guide was produced by Stephen Docker in close consultation with Keith Offord, a field ornithologist, bird tour guide and photographer. Mike Langman is a wildlife artist renowned for his illustrations of birds.There is also free support to accompany this WildID fold-out guide. Two additional resources, Identikit and Quizlet provide the user with an opportunity to further develop their skills. Identikit is a digital, multi-access identification key that can be used alongside the WildID guide. Quizlet is an on-line flash card learning resource, perfect for practising identification before heading outdoors. All three products form an integrated suite of wader resources. [9781908819895]. Mike Langman (illustrator).
