Description
This practical pocket guide, published in association with the Wildlife Trusts, provides all the details nature detectives need to identify the tracks and signs left by over 80 animal species found in the British Isles and Europe.
Each species account includes accurate colour artworks and concise descriptions as well as descriptions of the dwellings, tracks and other signs that can help you identify the traces of species you come across on your walks or while nature watching.
Whether you are new to animal tracking or a seasoned nature detective, the guide's accessible text describes the joys of animal tracking and how this activity can help us get closer to nature, broaden our wildlife knowledge and allow nature lovers to see landscapes through new eyes.
A helpful introduction outlines animal tracking basics to help beginners get started, and throughout the guide, the author offers useful tips and advice on where and when to look for prints, trails and other signs. Their introduction also includes some helpful how-tos, including how to make a home-made sand-tray print tracker.
