  Mapping the locations and describing the natural history of some of the best wildlife habitats of the British Isles, this book also provides tips on field-craft and special photographic techniques. An introduction to the best photographic equipment, clothing, and other kit for wildlife photography, is followed by practical skills for exploring the countryside safely, and a chapter on showing and selling nature photographs. The second part of the book looks at typical habitats, showing their distribution, explaining the wildlife to be found in each, listing details of some of the best sites, and describing which techniques are likely to be most successful in different circumstances. There is an emphasis throughout on enjoying and photographing wildlife without harming it or destroying the environment. The author is a wildlife journalist and photographer whose work has been published in over 50 countries, and he is actively involved in various organizations concerned with bird and wildlife conservation.
