A comprehensive treatment of the birds of the genus Saxicola.
The genus Saxicola contains about 13 species, depending on taxonomy. They are a distinctive and popular group of birds, and include two very familiar and attractive British species - the Stonechat and Whinchat.
This volume is primarily an identification guide, using colour plates and photographs to illustrate the various races and plumages, but the text also covers the biology, habitat and range of each species. DNA data is presented, and there are distribution maps for each species.
Ewan Urquhart has been involved in field ornithology for the last 36 years.
Adam Bowley, a professional bird artist, was the winner of the Identification Section of Birdwatch magazine'sprestigious Bird Illustrator of the Year award in 1999 and 2000.
