Hi, I’m Dave Gosney, the author of the Finding Birds in series of books. I‘ve been re-writing the books and producing DVDs to go with them to give you an even better idea of where and how to find the best birds when you go birding abroad.
“No one should contemplate their birding trip without checking to see if Dave has been there and written the booklet or made the film. If he has, buy it!”

Together the book and DVD make the complete site guide
The “Finding Birds in ...” books give details of exactly where to go to find the most exciting species in Europe, the Middle East and further afield.
The “Finding Birds in...” DVDs give you the clearest possible idea of what it’s like to go birding in different parts of Europe and the Middle East, enabling you to get a feel for different locations and to learn about their special birds.
