This last minute purchase in Nairobi brought much pleasure and amusement as we ticked our way through over 100 new birds. Easy to fit into a pocket or camera bag this book enabled us, as amateur bird watchers to indentify many birds. However, it was more difficult to use to for birds on the wing as most of the picture are on perch. Nevertheless the book seemed less daunting than the more detailed options. The ability to spot the many beautiful birds filled in time delightfully when the earth based game was hiding.
