Product Description
Bill Oddie's Birding Pack offers exceptional value for money by combining book and map in a compact plastic wallet. The pack comprises Bill Oddie's Birds of Britain and Ireland and a unique added value map, Bill Oddie's Birding Map folded to fit the wallet. Essentially a beginner's field guide to both British and Irish birds, Bill Oddie's Birds of Britain and Ireland is a must-have book for any birder coming to grips with the 200 or so commoner species to be found in Britain and Ireland. Written in Bill's inimitable style, this book enables even the most inexperienced birdwatcher to clearly identify a wide variety of species. Three leading artists have provided clear, realistic and accurate illustrations, which show the birds as they are actually seen in the field. A unique feature of the book are the ten 'confusion' pages which compare and contrast the species which novice birders often find the most confusing. The easy-to-use, illustrated map is an essential guide to watching birds in Britain and Ireland. Featuring the top 346 birding sites including all RSPB reserves and additional Wildlife Trusts and Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust sites, this new edition comprises 100 extra sites. On the reverse of the main map there are detailed maps of 15 major sites and information panels on many aspects of birding including a detailed list of bird observatories and the major seabird colonies to be found in Britain and Ireland. This ideal companion to Bill Oddie's Birds of Britain and Ireland provides a handy reference tool for both the novice birdwatcher as well as the avid twitcher.

Nice pics, shame about the map!,
By Sue (Essex) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bill Oddie's Birding Pack (Paperback)
This is a nice book but I would use it more to complement other field guides rather than to rely on as the guide I took birding with me. Nice large clear illustrations but somehow I wanted 'more'. I was rather disappointed with the map. It is made of thin, cheap paper and although does have lots of birding places marked it gives no clue of how to get to them, not even an address! Worth buying if you are a fan of Bill's (as I am) but not as a main guide.

Birding the UK made easy,
By Bookworm64 "Mike" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bill Oddie's Birding Pack (Paperback)
This pack is probably the best thing you could buy if you are going to Great Britain or Ireland and have anything remotely resembling a casual interest in birds. The map shows a good bird spot easily within reach from almost anywhere (need your own road map or GPS) and the book has every bird that breeds or winters in in the region, as well as some of the more common rarities. The regular birds get whole pages to themselves, rarities are several to a page. There are also page illustrations of problem groups, and Bill Oddie's writing is superb, almost as though he is there with you giving you help. The only thing missing is the plane ticket!
