great for non-twitchers ... August 21, 2008
Brilliant book, with just enough info for anyone who has a general interest in that little bird over there with the interesting call. Good clear pics that are actually photos and not some artist's impression (always puts me off).
this is my second copy. first copy got left on a hill in scotland somewhere ...
Excellent book May 6, 2008
Lovely pictures, facts up to date and very useful, fits in pocket nicely.
My only gripe is that there is no information regarding the birds eggs perhaps this is intentional to help stop egg collectors pilfering nests? but it would have been hard to cram any more information into the book.
It gets my 5 stars!

Small, yet packs in so much information. This book goes out with me in the field every time. Good value too!

This nice little pocket guide is essential for everyone who is beginning to observe birds .It contains all the species that one is likely to find in the British Isles .
Identification of birds is made easy by comparing the birds with the most similar species and highlighting the differences.
This guide will fit into any small back pack and will resist the past of time very well .
Reasonably priced and of a very nice size this guide and a pair of binoculars is all you need to start bird watching.

Having been discharged from hospital and told to take it easy was forced to slow down and start walking instead of jogging.
I kept on finding birds in the countryside that I had vague memories of from childhood but was unsure of what I was seeing.
I bought this book and a small set of binoculars and found it very helpful. The photos and text within are first class. I have become a bit of an anorak as a result of this book and often end up sitting in peace and quiet watching birds and attempting to identify them!!
I would highly recommend it.
