One of the greatest pleasures of having a garden is to be able to observe and identify the great number of different species which may feed, bathe and nest there, or simply fly over, particularly during periods of migration. For the first time, this book combines full identification and behavioural features of over 70 common gfarden birds as well as detailed, highly-visual information on attracting and encouraging birds to your garden. Stunningly illustrated, yet simple to use, The Complete Garden Bird Book will ensure that you get the maximum pleasure from your garden whatever its size or location.

Format:Paperback
Despite the availability of many larger and more comprehensive bird identification books, I still recommend this one for those who just want to identify the birds in their garden, especially beginners. Dave Daly's paintings are beautifully clear and with half a dozen good-sized images for each species, including juveniles, this is by far the clearest and most user-friendly guide for those who just want to sort out which species are using their bird tables or feeders in the UK. It's also very good value.

No more arguments about the identity of that bird on your garden feeder. This is a really good reference book - you'll need to keep it buy the back window because you'll use it all the time. Really clear pictures showing male, female and young and describing markings, habitat and calls with handy ways of telling similar birds apart. Highly recommended

I gave up using this book as I couldn't match the birds I was seeing with the birds in here. There are some much better online identifiers that let you search for feather colours... Read more

For its handy size this a very good little book.
It does focus on most of the birds you are likely to find in or around a garden and allows for regional spread as well. Read more
