Sumptiously produced and an absolute bargain

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2015

Verified Purchase

I am an extremely amateur and inexperienced birdwatcher but there are lots of waders and sea-birds near my home (in addition to the usual garden birds) so I thought I would get a book to help me identify them. Prompted by the low price and the positive reviews of other Amazonians, I picked this, and I'm very pleased I did because it's really beautiful and a joy to use. The information is very clearly presented in a way that will appeal to anyone from age 5-105. Each bird has a full-colour page of its own, so there is plenty of space to show pictures of juvenile and seasonal plumage, and maps of geographical distribution. At the start of each section, the birds of one type (eg gulls) are shown together so you can judge their relative sizes - I find this very useful. The only drawback to this book is that it is a reference work and therefore too big to take out and about - but it is incredibly useful for confirming what you have spotted when you get home.

CD listing in wrong order, heavy book, not very detailed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2019

Verified Purchase

The birdsong on the CD is incorrectly listed, meaning you'll be learning the wrong calls for some of the birds. Very big heavy book, and not very detailed, a lot of generalisation and not much depth. Get the Collins bird guides instead.

Best bird book for all round knowledge.

Lovely reference and coffee table book for all to enjoy. I live in Northern Europe (Iceland), and this is the best for all of Europe regions and migrating birds. Lovely illustrations and detailed descriptions of birds and their habits etc. Makes a wonderful gift too and affordable at Amazon.

My 8 year son old loves this book

My 8 year son old loves this book. Every page is interesting, brilliant photographs, well organised, clearly written, not too little information.

Excellent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2014

Verified Purchase

Fully deserves the 5 star rating, revised edition of the classic book. Pictures are excellent and unlike the bible of field guides (Collins) it gives more information on species habits and nesting details. A large bulky book, definitely one for the coffee table and not for use out in the field.
