European Bird Names: A Translation Guide gives an easy reference to bird names from English to French, German and Dutch. It is designed to complement one of the most successful birding field guides, thus making it accessible to a large proportion of bird watchers, both in the UK and abroad. It reflects all the major taxonomic updates within the Western Palearctic in the last ten years. The book also gives details of when other countries' taxonomic authorities disagree and other useful tips on understanding bird names in French, German and Dutch, languages which are in use in more than ten European countries, as well as parts of North Africa.
The translations have been checked by experienced birders who are native in, or have extensive knowledge of, the respective languages. Possible points of confusion, especially in the somewhat fluid German bird names, are highlighted. Bird topology is also included in order to help with descriptions and to understand many of the bird names.
