5.0 out of 5 stars birds of europe 7 Jan 2010

By S. Davies

Excellent book. Handy size and drawings are excellent. Bought it as a Christmas present for my husband who is a keen bird watcher and who already has a few books on birds of Britain and Europe. He was thrilled with it and said it contains many references to species not found in his other books. Book arrived very promplty, in plenty of time for Christmas.
