Books on bird watching in Scandinavia, Finland etc ? (1 Viewer)

[stuart scott]

Are there any books (similar to the Where To Watch series) dealing with the key wildlife sites / bird watching sites in Norway, Finland, or Scandinavia/Northern Europe as a whole?

Does the Where to Watch Birds in Europe and Russia detail this area enough, and can it be recommended by anyone ?

I see theres also a Where to Watch Birds in Scandinavia (Hamlyn Birdwatching Guides) which looks scarce and well over priced 2nd hand.

Which country did you need most? I have a book on Iceland areas. Buy when you get there, any gift shop.

Mostly an out of print book in English

If this works, it will hardly be in English! So I recommend getting the books beforehand. That allows using them for trip preparation as well.

You may check NHBS http://www.nhbs.com/ or Wildsounds http://www.wildsounds.com/. A quick check at the Wildsounds site did not show what you are looking for. But try NHBS, they have a good search function.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've looked through NHBS but couldn't see anything like what I'm after....I'll try again since they have so much stuff listed.
I'm surprised there’s nothing obviously published on this area. I thought places like Finland and Norway etc. would be a magnet for birders, and theres a number of eco tourism companies dealing with these countries.
( I've wanted to explore north Europe more than for years...hence wanting a book or two !)
I'll check out Where to Watch Birds in Europe and Russia and see how detailed that is.
