4.0 out of 5 stars Great pocket bird guide, 7 Jan 2005

By	Mr. Nicholas Fulker "solaris45" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Nice introduction, with ints on attracting birds to your garden.
It's lovely and compact (3.75 x 4.25 x 0.5 inches), easy to use layout of one bird per page. Each page includes a brief section on identification, habits, feeding, breeding, voice and habitat. Also a clear photo of each bird with some sketches of juveniles.
My only minor dissapointment is on the lack of data on the size of each bird.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for the windowsill, 24 Jun 2007

By	M. Naylor (Darkest Lincolnshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A lovely little book and just what I needed as a non bird watcher to identify what was coming into the garden. The book has a nice layout and is small enough to slip into your pocket.

4.0 out of 5 stars Handy Guide for the Casual Observer, 9 Aug 2007

By	J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This is exactly what it say in the title, a handy little book of the one hundred or so species of the more common garden birds. It is possible, but hardly probable that you may see a Snowy Owl in your back garden, stranger things have happened, but if you do you won't find it in this book. If you live in the wilds of Scotland a Golden Eagle may be perched on your chimney pot at this very moment, but again you will not find it in this book.

Joking apart the book is for those who see a handsome little bird in their garden and think "I wonder what that one is called." This book will help them to identify those birds without having to fork out a great deal of money on an expensive book. It is also useful for those bird clues in crossword puzzles.

To be honest I found the book a little too small, when I spot a bird in my front garden I find it a little too fiddley to use quickly. Read more
