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. |

Children are the future of Bird Watching. This handy little guide will both excite and engage them with its lively mixture of good photos and top tips for birding. I liked the choice of birds, just enough to get them started. A birders calendar, habitat notes, your own local patch, what to do in the hollidays....good stuff! |

The Complete Guide to the Birdlife of Britain & Europe

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. |
