For rapid identification, we’ve grouped the paintings into categories: dabbling ducks, diving ducks, sawbills, swans and geese. This makes it easy to compare similar species side by side. Where useful, we have also included different plumages, showing males, females, and juveniles. This helps you recognise birds throughout the year, whether they are in bright breeding colours or in their more subdued winter feathers.
In addition to the detailed artwork, the reverse side of the guide offers concise identification notes for every species featured. These notes highlight the key field marks to watch for, such as distinctive head shapes, bill colours, or unique feather patterns. They also provide useful facts on body size and wingspan to help judge scale in the field, plus a brief description of each species’ typical call or vocalisation.
Together these paintings and notes give you all the tools you need to identify ducks, swans, and geese with confidence, whether you are new to birdwatching or looking to sharpen your identification skills.
