With this audio CD and book, Geoff Sample provides a very accessible introduction and guide to identifying the birds of gardens and parkland by their songs and calls. There are recordings of over 40 species of the most common and vocal garden birds on the CD, each one introduced by a voice-over and described in the accompanying book, along with notes on the song period and the vocal habits of the species, and tips on listening to bird song and calls. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
