Where relevant species have b&w maps of a reasonable size showing 'summer' and 'winter' distribution - one nice touch is that they differentiate between 'core' and 'low density' range. OK they'd be better still in colour, but the book is already £60!  The introductory essays look a 'must read' too. There's a huge amount of detail & info here .... If you interested in birding in Spain/Portugal then it's a must buy, but then you probably knew that already!  .</p></blockquote><p></p>
