Birdwatching Walks in Bowland by David Hindle and John Wilson, £9.99
Boasting fells, marshes, moorland, rivers, rich woodlands and ancient picturesque settlements, the Forest of Bowland provides a wonderful variety of habitats for an amazing array of birds, some of them rare. Little wonder, then, that local authors David Hindle and John Wilson developed such a passion for exploring the area, and decided to write a book. Birdwatching Walks in Bowland, now in its third edition, reveals the many treasures on offer that can be enjoyed by all. More than 30 scenic walks cover the whole of the area, from Lancaster to Pendle, and from Preston to Settle. Each one is designed to give the walker the chance to encounter a wide range of different birdlife in a magnificent Bowland setting and includes information on where to park and the nearest places for toilets and refreshments.
The centre pages form an informative field guide covering each bird accompanied by full colour photographs and a list of the walks on which they may best be spotted.
