With the help of wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson they offer a practical and entertaining guide to identifying the birds which you're most likely to see and hear in arable fields on Britain's farms; birds like Skylark, Grey Partridge, Red-legged Partridge and Lapwing. This is the first of five programmes to help identify many of the birds seen and heard in the British countryside, in hedgerows, copses, winter pastures, farmyards and arable fields. Not only is there advice on how to recognise the birds from their appearance, but also how to identify them from their calls and songs. This series complements four previous series; A Guide to Garden Birds, A Guide Woodland Birds, A Guide to Water Birds and A Guide to Coastal Birds and is aimed at both the complete novice as well as those who are eager to learn more about our farmland visitors and residents.
