Bradt's fully illustrated wildlife guides focus on regions of the world
particularly celebrated for their amazing and often unique species. With
spectacular photography or exclusive watercolour drawings throughout, each
visitors' guide provides an introduction to the region's principal flora and
fauna alongside suggested wildlife itineraries, practical information on when to
go and what to take and photography tips. Written in a deliberately engaging
way, they offer something different from dry field guides, and will appeal to
the interested layman as much as the wildlife devotee. Ideal as a lightweight
companion to any wildlife trip they also make a handsome souvenir. A superbly
illustrated and attractive new edition of this traveller's companion to the
wildlife of the Antarctic wilderness. Dafila Scott's illustrations provide the
perfect accompaniment to naturalist Tony Soper's immaculate text. This guide
provides full coverage of plumage and identification, breeding and nesting,
feeding and the best locations to observe the varied species to be found in
Antarctica.
