This is a fantastic book for any amateur ornithologists or indeed anyone with a curious interest.I bought this book to help me identify the residents in my garden and indeed the visitors.I have been referring to it ever since.Each page covers three birds giving a good description of voice,diet and behaviour.The illustrations are done by artist Michael o Clery and they are superb there are no photographs contained therein but the artwork more than compensates,coupled with the short descriptive passage on each bird it seems ideal for children or someone with a short attention span like me!!
