Autumn birds
Autumn wildlife bundle
After the quiet of late summer, September and October mark a turning point in the birdwatching year. Garden birds come out of hiding, ducks, geese and swans are on the move, and winter migrants are returning. So we’ve chosen 3 WildID fold-out guides featuring birds and their tracks for you to spot at this exciting time.
Waders guide
New in winter 2023/4, a guide to watching waders in the real world. Our Waders guide covers 28 species from Britain and Ireland, from avocet and curlew to turnstone and whimbrel. Waders are a distinctive group of birds with long bills and legs. They are often seen at the edge of shallow water and mud, both at the coast and inland.
Colour illustrations show both standing birds and birds in-flight. There is a fast identification key and silhouettes of each bird. Bill length, body size and bill curvature are used to quickly narrow down the species options. Additional notes help with difficult species groups, such as godwits and sandpipers.
Ducks, geese and swans guide
Visiting a wetland reserve? Covering all 32 wild waterfowl in Britain including dabbling ducks, diving ducks, sawbills, swans and wild geese.
Designed for use outside, this laminated fold-out guide features beautiful colour paintings by leading bird artist Mike Langman. For rapid identification, we have grouped the paintings by dabbling ducks, diving ducks, sawbills, swans and geese. Also included are different forms for males, females and juveniles where appropriate.
Bird tracks guide
Birds can be hard to see. Often they are most active around dawn, which can be very early in the morning in summer. But birds often leave evidence which show that they live in or have visited an area. The guide features colour illustrations of tracks, plus many other clues, from battered pine cones to shattered hazelnuts.
