Spain’s Extremadura region is famous with wildlife enthusiasts – particularly birders – from all about the world. I’ve not personally made a visit there (yet…) myself, but Mark Avery has, and he is by his own admission, a fan of the area and its many natural wonders.
Of all the many books that I perused at BirdFair, one that particularly caught and held my attention – perhaps as a result of my affinity to Lepidopterans – was the Field Guide to the Micro-moths of Great Britain & Ireland by Phil Sterling and Mark Parsons with illustrations by Richard Lewington. Published in 2012 by British Wildlife Publishing and distributed by Bloomsbury UK, this handy field guide describes and depicts 1,033 species.
