Product Description

Product Description
This field guide helps to identify bird sounds. The guide is organised by habitat, with atmospheric backgrounds and voice-overs discussing how to tell the difference between each species, so the reader can quickly learn all the calls he can hear when visiting his local wood, or marshland RSPB reserve. Over 158 species are covered, the focus being on common birds and birds that are difficult to separate visually, but easy when the calls are heard. The accompanying booklet gives background information on each species, plus an introductory section on bird song, where and when it can be heard, and how to make your own recordings.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best way to learn bird calls yet, 9 Sep 2002
By A Customer
A very useful package of 2 CDs and book that cover most, if not all, the birds of Britain.
The book describes the birds calls and if they are on the CDs, as most are, a track number is given.
There are a few birds missing from the CDs, which is a shame, but the 2 disks are full.
A number of birds of prey are missing, and a few Warblers are not included, but maybe they will turn up on Geoff Samples next book/CD that deals just with them.
Other than that, having loads of birds on CD is very useful, as you can skip through tracks with easy.
The recording quality is very good, and with a whispering voice by Geoff telling you what bird is what, it feels like you are there in the field.
Its very relaxing too !

5.0 out of 5 stars Relax and learn, 11 Jan 2002
By A Customer
A double CD set covering all the Britsh birds you are likely to encounter on those birding walks ,categorized by habitat, and with a book outlining the "what and where".
Even the narrator on the CD's is laid back.
One small quibble was the lack of a suitable CD case ,I put the CD's in a double CD case as soon as I found one..
If you want to learn to identify Britsh birds by their songs and calls then buy this now..

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and enjoyable to listen to, 5 Sep 2002
By A Customer
A very nice little package. The book lists most (if not all) British birds with a description of their calls, along with the track number, if its included on the CD.
The CD has most birds you are likely to hear in the UK...though there are a number missing I would have liked to have heard...Cetti's Warbler for example.
The quality of the recordings are very good. It feels like you are outside with the author as he whispers their names.
Recommended.
