The text is complemented by 16 specially-commissioned colour plates by the sporting-bird artist, Rodger McPhail, flight silhouettes, line drawings and photographs. Distribution maps for every species are based on material supplied by the British Trust for Ornithology, and show main migration routes as well as population density.
