Nederlands / Engelse uitgave.
This book covers all 468 wild species recorded in the Netherlands from 1800 to January 2001 and provides an overwhelming amount of information on the more than 210 rare (sub)species, including almost 800 diagrams and maps. Each of the more than 300 colour rarity photos is regarded as the best ever made for each species in the Netherlands. Apart from having historical value, the pictures are also of importance for identification purposes. The book is a work of reference, meticulously giving precise dates, localities, literature and other details.
