  • Great birding book

    Excellent format. Traditional bird books group according to species, this one groups according to size, shape and colour which when you are staring at a bird through a pair of binoculars makes a lot more sense! For example, it puts together all the little brown birds in one place! Wish I'd found this year's ago.

  • Clear with some surprises

    Surprised to find avocet not in it except in the RSPB logo. A common bird in this area, distinctive and easy for my 5 year old to spot compared to grey waders. Several rare visitors included instead; talking point but for me, not needed in a first ID field guide.

  • That's definitely a Mistle Thrush!

    A really good guide for the new/amateur bird watcher. Incredibly detailed pictures and an "easy find" section to give you a good idea what you are looking at. Bought this as a present but might have to get myself a copy. Highly recommended.

  • Happy with the book.

    I bought 2 of these books and gave them to my 2 sets of grandchildren. They had a competition as to who could identify the most birds in their gardens. A nice little book that you can also carry around on walks.

  • At last a bird ID book that allows easy comparison of possible birds. Why aren't all bird ID books like this?
