Where to Watch Birds in Britain Buy from: Amazon.co.uk   or Amazon.com Simon Harrap, Nigel Redman A superb and well researched update of the original book. Lots of new sites have been added. The experts have been consulted. An indispensible guide to British twitcher or foreign visitor. All the key sites are covered, usually with good maps complete with a season by season guide of what to see where.

Birds New to Britain 1980-2004 Buy from: Amazon.co.uk   or Amazon.com Adrian Pitches & Tim & Cleeves I really enjoyed this book, the accounts evoking treasured memories of journeys to the far flung corners of the UK chasing some of the finest birds around. These are the stories of birds never before recorded in Britain, capturing the breathtaking excitement of this unique, once in a lifetime birding experience.

RSPB Handbook of British Birds Buy from: Amazon.co.uk   or Amazon.com Peter Holden The standard of new field guides for the United Kingdom just keeps on improving. This book is as good as any I have seen. The real strength of this guide over its rivals is the wealth of information provided. I was particularly impressed with the comments on population and conservation status, which are flagged up for each species. It makes you understand how rare a bird is, when you realise that its population is down to the last 100 pairs! The illustrations are super, distribution maps are accurate and the price is excellent...buy it.
