‘Stretching from the Arctic to its boundaries with Africa and Asia, Europe has enough exciting creatures amid jaw-dropping landscapes to fill an entire lifetime of wildlife-watching. The problem has long been that, other than a few guides to birdwatching sites, no books exist to tell you what you can see where – or when.’ James Lowen, author of our Book of the Month, 52 European Wildlife Weekends

This innovative new title from Bradt is the first of its type to focus specifically on the vast array of wildlife-watching opportunities found in Europe. Written by expert James Lowen, author of the best-selling 52 Wildlife Weekends: A Year of British Wildlife-Watching Breaks and award-winning A Summer of British Wildlife: 100 Great Days Out Watching Wildlife, this unique guide is packaged into 52 weekend-sized breaks highlighting the best of European wildlife including mammals, reptiles, amphibians, flora, butterflies, dragonflies and birds. We may think of snow-covered Antarctica, South American jungles or African savannahs as holding the world's most plenteous and special wildlife, yet Europe heaves with wildlife wonders year-round, many of which can be seen in a simple weekend break.
