5.0 out of 5 stars This is the one, 27 May 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Book of British Birds (AA RSPB) (Paperback)
This is an excellent, comprehensive literal and pictorial guide to Britain's bird's. The full-colour paintings are superb and it is well organized with accessible writing that is (fairly) in-depth. I would reccomend this more for beginners, but still for more-committed bird watchers as a good reference. Also I would recommend buying "Explore Britain's Birds" instead of this. It is adapted from this seminal book but is more up-to-date.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good, comprehensive guide to British birds, 25 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Book of British Birds (AA RSPB) (Paperback)
This full colour illustrated book provides a very good introduction to the species of birds that can be found in the British Isles. It has useful identification details as well as information on habits and habitats. It is an ideal book for new birdwatchers or those with a general interest

(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Book of British Birds (AA RSPB) (Paperback)
This isn't a book to take out with you bird-watching, as it is large and heavy. It's a book to look at before you go or refer to when you come home. Perfect for taking on holiday, too. It's ideal for using with children. I would say it for the interested amateur rather than the dead-keen birdwatcher.

The entry for each bird is very informative, often a full page. Pictures from all sorts of angles, maps, notes on telling apart similar species, a nice bit of text on the habits and ecology of the species. The illustrations are very beautiful. There are comparison sheets showing related species such as ducks side by side.

As well as the actual ID guide for birds, there are many pages of fascinating background. At the front, essays on evolution and anatomy, and pages on particular families of birds such as "Larks, pipits and wagtails" are followed by a splendid section on habitats - "Mountains and moorlands", "Lakes and gravel pits" and so on. Then at the end there is a large and really excellent guide to places for bird-watching, not just reserves but a whole range of places arranged by region with maps and evocative photographs.

Buy this inspiring book for yourself - it would also be an excellent gift for anyone starting get interested in wildlife, or for someone you WANT to get interested in wildlife!
