The
identification guide to Birds in the Hand.

In
2013 the
'Guide d'identification des oiseaux en
main', was published in French, which received
critical acclaim from members of the specialised
ornithological press.
In 2016, the ‘Identification Guide to
Birds in the
Hand’, updated with 51 extra species, gives to all
ornithologists who
handle birds the essential
information regarding accurate identification of
species
and subspecies, measurements, moult,
sex and age.
The
301 species (154 non-passerines and 147
passerines) most frequently caught in
Western Europe by general ringers are
presented in detail. To avoid mistakes,
identification is systematically compared with
species of similar appearance, which represents
a total of more than 550 treated
species. Homogenous treatment of all species
groups precludes the recurrent pitfalls of using
various books with variable modes of
presentation and means fewer books to carry.

Apart
from 51 additional species, major
improvements compared to the French version
are:
- supplementary
information in the introduction,
- addition
of BTO codes and wing tip data in the heading of each species
account,

of all treated species in the ‘identification’ section,
- the
addition of schematic figures of moult sequences,
- addition
of distribution range notes for all species,
- addition
of EURING age codes in ‘moult’ and ‘age’ sections,
- improved
organisation of figures clarifying them and becoming more
comprehensive,
- addition
of sonograms for some species (i.e. warblers...),
- addition
of various informative figures and comparative illustrations
|
- addition
of bibliographic references at the end of each species
account
- different
index marks for non-passerines and passerines,
- addition
of appendix with a sample of moult and wing formula cards,
- minor
corrections and general updates to species accounts
