Written by renowned expert James Lowen, the author of the bestselling 52 Wildlife Weekends: A Year of British Wildlife-Watching Breaks and the 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. While we may associate snow-covered Antarctica, South American jungles, or African savannahs with the most abundant and exceptional wildlife, Europe boasts a wealth of natural wonders throughout the year, many of which can be explored in a short weekend getaway. This book offers one wildlife-watching break, located in Europe, for every weekend of the year. If you have a longing to witness brown bears, head to Finland or Slovenia. If you're eager to encounter wolves, take a flight to northern Spain or Italy's Abruzzo region. For those who find whales captivating, a long weekend in Iceland, Ireland, or the Bay of Biscay would be ideal. Orchid enthusiasts can visit Corsica, Crete, or the Costa del Sol during the spring. Birdwatchers can flock to observe migrating raptors in Gibraltar, witness great gatherings of cranes in central Spain, or marvel at vast flocks of seaducks in Arctic Norway. Additionally, there are unique creatures like the wacky olm in Slovenia, cave salamanders in Sardinia, and owl-flies in the Picos de Europa. Hungary's mayfly emergence is truly spectacular, as are Norway's musk oxen and Poland's bison. Spanning from the Arctic to its boundaries with Africa and Asia, Europe boasts an incredible abundance of living creatures amidst breathtaking landscapes, offering a lifetime of wildlife-watching experiences for both seasoned wildlife tourists and novice enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 474g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 218 x 135 x 16 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781784770839                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Lowen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094619156730,"sku":"9781784770839","price":11.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/7491a2db513fcee93da7de0113c46188.jpg?v=1630986283","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/52-european-wildlife-weekends-a-year-of-short-breaks-for-nature-lovers","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
