Brett Westwood is joined by keen bird watcher, Stephen Moss, on the Devonshire coast.

With the help of wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson they offer a practical and entertaining guide to identifying the birds which you're most likely to see and hear on rocky shores around Britain's coastline; birds like Rock Pipit, Turnstone, Herring Gull and Lesser Black-backed Gull.

The third of five programmes helps identify many of the birds found around our British coastline in places like sandy beaches, rocky shores, sea cliffs, off-shore islands and estuaries. Not only is there advice on how to recognise the birds from their appearance, but also how to identify them from their calls and songs.

A complement to three previous series; A Guide to Garden Birds, A Guide Woodland Birds and A Guide to Water Birds, this series is aimed at both the complete novice as well as those who are eager to learn more about our coastal visitors and residents.
