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.

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.

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.
