A fantastically detailed and explanatory tome. The first section discusses bird anatomy, breeding, migration and other habits, as well as tips on bird watching. Next begins the species guide, of birds common to Britain and Europe. This is followed by infrequent and rare birds. The book is beautifully illustrated and photographed, to help with identification of individual species as well as juvenile specimens which often differ greatly from adults. It also contains a CD with bird calls on it too. Certainly not a pocket field guide, being 22cm x 28cm and weighing a fair amount as well, but if you're bird watching from inside a purpose built hide at a nature reserve, you could certainly bring it along in your backpack, with your Thermos flask of tea. For me, it's a bit big and heavy to fit in my camera bag, which already weighs a lot due to the camera and lenses. Still, it's nice being able to identify birds I have spotted or photographed, once I get home.Read full review
This is a lovely book, very informative and well layed out. Not one you could take out on a birdwatching day as it's quite large and heave. Good for anyone who like drawing though.
great book exellent pictures highly recommended
