Klappentext A first sighting of an unexpected bird or an elusive mammal is a real thrill and can encourage a lifetime's interest in nature. This new RSPB book is perfect for anyone who enjoys a walk in the woods or a coastal stroll.

Each species has a score to inspire friendly competition on your days out. The Great British Wildlife Hunt combines discovering nature with the added incentive of earning points as you travel around the countryside enjoying the sights and sounds of our fascinating flora and fauna...
