  • Der Kosmos Vogelführer (Untertitel: Alle Arten Europas, Nordafrikas und Vorderasiens; schwedischer Originaltitel: Fågelguiden; erste deutschsprachige Ausgabe unter dem Titel Der neue Kosmos-Vogelführer; in Fachkreisen nach dem Hauptautor auch Der Svensson genannt) ist ein Führer zur Bestimmung von Vögeln in Europa, Nordafrika und Vorderasien. Konzept, Beschreibungstexte und Karten stammen vom schwedischen Ornithologen Lars Svensson mit Unterstützung von Peter J. Grant; die Illustrationen wurden von Dan Zetterström und Killian Mullarney erstellt. Der Führer beschreibt mit über 900 Arten umfassend die Vogelwelt Europas und des Mittelmeerraumes, einschließlich Durchzüglern, Ausnahmeerscheinungen und eingebürgerter Arten. In mehr als 4.000 Farbzeichnungen werden die wichtigsten Merkmale für die Bestimmung der Tiere dargestellt. Karten zeigen Verbreitungsgebiete und Zugrouten. Trotz des umfangreichen Inhalts ist das Buch im Format kompakt gehalten, so dass es auch als „Feldführer“, d. h. zum Mitführen bei der Beobachtung im Feld, geeignet ist. Svenssons Vogelführer gilt international als eines der umfassendsten, aktuellen und besten Werke dieser Art und hat sich als Standardwerk der Vogelkunde etabliert. Allein von der ersten Ausgabe wurden mehr als 700.000 Exemplare verkauft, davon mehr als 70.000 in Deutschland. Die deutsche Ausgabe wird unter anderem vom NABU empfohlen. (de)
  • The Collins Bird Guide is a field guide to the birds of the Western Palearctic. Its authors are Lars Svensson, Killian Mullarney, Dan Zetterström and Peter J. Grant, and it is illustrated by Killian Mullarney and Dan Zetterström (with two plates of North American passerines contributed by Larry McQueen). It has been described as "undoubtedly the finest field guide that has ever been produced", and "the last great bird book of the 20th century". It was originally published in Swedish and Danish in 1999, and in English in hardback in the same year, and later in paperback. A large-format English edition has also been produced, as has a German and Dutch edition. The first edition was translated to 14 European languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch and German. A second edition, revised and enlarged, was published in January 2010. A series of updates and corrections were made in 2015, with no change to the edition number. The cover of the first edition, in all formats, depicts a barn owl. On the second edition, this was replaced by an Arctic tern. Eleven pages of introductory material are followed by the book's main content: 366 pages of text and colour paintings. The text for each species gives brief status notes, followed by a section detailing identification, and concludes with a section on voice. Accompanying most species accounts is a small colour map showing breeding, wintering and migrant range. The guide is also available as a paid-for app, for iPhone and Android devices. The app includes all of the text and images from the print edition, as well as audio recordings. Additional data can be bought separately; the first such package being a set of distribution maps for 271 species, from the British Trust for Ornithology's Bird Atlas 2007–11. All versions cover Europe, North Atlantic islands, much of North Africa and the Middle East. Most of the species covered in the main part of the guide are regular breeding, wintering or migrant species in its area of coverage, although some vagrants are also included. There are additional sections giving brief accounts of (a) vagrants and (b) introduced breeding species and species recorded only as escapes. (en)
  • La Guida degli uccelli d'Europa, Nord Africa e Vicino Oriente è una guida da campo per il riconoscimento e l'identificazione degli uccelli del Paleartico Occidentale. La prima edizione viene pubblicata nel 1999 in lingua svedese e danese (ma quasi immediatamente poi anche in lingua inglese da HarperCollins) grazie ad un progetto del principale autore, l'ornitologo Lars Svensson con la collaborazione di ; il capillare lavoro illustrativo viene invece compiuto da Dan Zetterström e . Questa prima edizione verrà pubblicata in Europa in 14 lingue ma non in italiano. La prima pubblicazione in lingua italiana arriva nel 2012 grazie ad una prima fase di intenso dibattito ed una fondamentale spinta proveniente dal mondo dell'associazionismo ornitologico e del birdwatching, sviluppatasi in primis soprattutto in seno ad . Questa spinta venne raccolta dalla casa editrice che pubblicò la traduzione in italiano della seconda edizione ingelse, a sua volta pubblicata da HarperCollins già nel 2010, una versione ampliata e rivisitata con numerose integrazioni rispetto a quella del 1999. I curatori della traduzione in lingua italiana furono: , Marco Giustin e Alberto Sorace. E già l'anno successivo la stessa edizione venne ristampata con una nuova copertina e con diverse correzioni. Successivamente furono pubblicate in Italia dalla stessa casa editrice, anche la terza e la quarta edizione.Da alcuni anni la Guida è disponibile anche in versione digitalizzata, come app sia per dispositivi Android che per iOS ma solo in lingua inglese. Nella guida vengono trattate le specie che si possono incontrare nel periodo riproduttivo, in quello di migrazione ed in quello di svernamento; ma sono date indicazioni anche delle specie alloctone e di quelle accidentali. Le aree di interesse riguardano tutta l'Europa continentale, le Isole britanniche, l'Islanda, il Nord Africa ed il Vicino Oriente. (it)
