The Complete Guide to the Birdlife of Britain & Europe Buy from: Amazon.co.uk   or Amazon.com Rob Hume, Peter Hayman This is quite simply the best illustrated guide to Europes birds that I have seen. Every bird is pictured at least five times (and sometimes twenty times) in varying poses within its habitat. Seeing the birds in context, really gives this book the edge. The text , written by an expert, is concise, thorough and up to date. Many of the recent splits are included. The likes of Yelkouan Shearwater and Southern Grey Shrike are illustrated superbly for perhaps the first time in any recent guide. More than a field guide, the book is coffee table size, and certainly deserves to be in the collection of every serious bird watcher.

Lonely Planet: France Buy from: Amazon.co.uk   or Amazon.com Jeremy Gray, et al This guide offers a special illustrated section on France's renowned cuisine and wine, as well as information on getting off the beaten track in Caen. where to be seen in Cannes, places to stay and detailed coverage of Andorra, Monaco and Corsica.

Collins Bird Guide Buy from: Amazon.co.uk   or Amazon.com Lars Svensson et al Described by some as the best field guide in the world, and 15 years in the making. Has it been Worth the Wait?...Yes definately! If you buy just 1 book a year then make sure that its this one. Stunning drawings by the worlds finest bird illustrators..and it shows..check out the plates on tern, Skuas, and the Ducks...not forgetting the Finches and Crossbills.
