Bees Field Guide

Produced in conjunction with the invertebrate conservation charity Bug life, this eight page chart shows 28 species of bee, most of which can commonly be seen flying in domestic gardens.

As well as the ‘Big Six’ bumblebees, the chart includes representatives of mining bees, cavity-nesting bees and cuckoo bees. Silhouettes next to each image show the typical life-size for each species. Text on the reverse side includes a table, with full cross-referencing to the images, which gives further information on flight periods, distribution of each species in Britain, and useful pointers to help distinguish between similar-looking species.

This is the ideal guide to help identify some of the main species of social and solitary bees in the UK. 

Birds Field Guide

Designed to help with the identification of the majority of bird species likely to be found in a British garden throughout the year.

Choose the colour of the bird and its size, and you should be able to put a name to it.  Different forms for males, females and juveniles are shown where appropriate to help with identification. The choice of ‘top 50’ is based on the relative abundance of species recorded in the UK by the BTO Garden Bird Watch survey.

This is the ideal guide to keep handy for garden bird identification and information.

Butterflies Field Guide

This eight-panel chart is designed for speedy butterfly identification in the field. It features colour illustrations arranged so that similar species are grouped next to each other.

The guide shows all the 57 butterfly species that you are likely to see in Britain, all depicted at life size. The text gives further background information on the life-cycle, habitats and feeding patterns of butterflies.

This is the ideal guide to keep handy for butterfly identification and information.
