This is the new edition of the successful Spanish Pyrenees and steppes of Huesca - Spain. This Crossbill Guide covers all aspects of this region: Wildlife and landscape: birdwatching sites, the most intact wilderness areas, the butterflies and wildflowers and geological phenomena.
Tenerife and La Gomera are the most diverse of the Canaries. Set in a dramatic landscape, these are islands of extremes: from sun-baked, shrubby lava fields to evergreen cloud forests and from lush, terraced mountain slopes to the strange high-altitude semi-desert in the crater of the Teide volcano - each corner is a different world. Only two ingredients are consistently present: spectacular scenery and an endemic flora and fauna. Over 30% of the wildflowers of Tenerife and La Gomera occur nowhere else in the world but here, bestowing the title of the 'Galapagos of botany' on the islands. Likewise, the birdlife, the reptiles and butterflies have evolved into unique faunas. Hence, these islands are a must-see for anyone with a passion for the natural world.* 17 routes (car and walk)* 35 site descriptions* Where to watch birds information* Finding butterflies, wildflowers, reptiles, etc.* Detailed background information on landscape and ecology

In the wind- beaten dune scrub, the Chameleon shelters, while huge numbers of waterfowl feed in the marshes.* 18 routes (car and walk)* 28 site descriptions* Where to watch birds information* Finding butterflies, wildflowers, reptiles, etc.* Detailed background information on landscape and ecology

The Rhodope Mountains lie in Southern Bulgaria on the border with Greece and Turkey. This is the region where continental, temperate and Mediterranean wildlife meets. The Rhodope mountains are covered in extensive forests. There are high cliffs and thunderous rivers, but also extensive, steppe-like grasslands and dry, rocky slopes. The wildlife is amongst the richest in Europe. Large numbers of birds of prey patrol the skies, wolves and jackals hide in the woodlands and scores of butterflies and wildflowers grace the meadows. Remote and wild as this region may seem, it is actually very easy to visit. This guidebook tells you all about the Rhodopes and describes many routes and sites to explore these mountains and their flora and fauna.* 24 routes (car and walk)* 20 site descriptions* Where to watch birds information* Finding butterflies, wildflowers, reptiles, etc.* Detailed background information on landscape and ecology
