Published in 2015 by New Holland Publishers, *Top Wildlife Sites of the World* gathers Will Burrard-Lucas’s photographs and field-based accounts of exceptional wildlife destinations across the globe. The book moves from Kangaroo Island and the Okavango to Kamchatka, Alaska, Tonga and Mexico, placing familiar sites such as Yellowstone and the Farne Islands alongside less conventional encounters, including whale-watching in Tonga and the mass migration of monarch butterflies.

Its structure is deliberately both pictorial and practical. Across 240 pages, the destinations are presented through photographs, locator maps, concise fact files, and descriptive accounts of what it is like to be there. Information on timing, characteristic species, and notable spectacles gives the book the character of a reference work, while the sustained emphasis on photographic observation keeps it rooted in the experience of looking. The result is not simply a sequence of wildlife portraits, but a geographical account of where such encounters become possible and how they might be approached.

For collectors, the book’s interest lies in this combination of visual record and destination-based editorial design. Burrard-Lucas’s role as photographer and principal author gives the volume a coherent perspective, while Natalie Burrard-Lucas is also credited as a contributor. Its broad geographical range makes it a useful document of wildlife viewing as a worldwide practice, rather than a study confined to one habitat or species. Issued as an English-language hardcover measuring approximately 25.78 by 25.10 centimetres, it has the scale of a substantial illustrated survey without abandoning the utility of a guide. The book is therefore best read both as a photographic publication and as a carefully organised atlas of wildlife spectacles.
