5.0 out of 5 stars The best field guide to any avifauna, 8 Nov 2005
By Christopher J. Sharpe "Chris Sharpe" (Caracas, Venezuela) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Collins Bird Guide: The Most Complete Guide to the Birds of Britain and Europe (Paperback)
This book emerged onto a highly competitive market already burgeoning with numerous field guides, most by renowned authors and many having benefitted from improvement over several editions. Quite simply though, this book won instant recognition as the best field guide available for Europe - and perhaps a model for field guides everywhere. Its authors are well known experts in their field having spent many years studying and publishing on the birds of the region. However, the key to the guide's success is the fact that so much more useful information has been condensed into a guide which is much the same size as existing books. The book boasts excellent illustrations, succinct text and handy maps, all presented on a the same page. Small enough to fit into a pocket and cheap, it is a must for anyone even remotely interested in British or European birds. Don't hesitate!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best!, 12 Jan 2007
By A. Wheeler (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Collins Bird Guide: The Most Complete Guide to the Birds of Britain and Europe (Paperback)
Put purely and simply, this is the best bird identification guide I have ancountered. I have many different ones and they all have their charms but for a truly amazing, comprehensive and detailed list of all the birds of Britain and Europe, this wins hands down. The illustrations are beautiful, and incredibly accurate, with details of all plumages (summer/winter/adult/sub-adult/juvenile), and details of sub-species. General behaviour, physical description, and calls and songs are all detailed superbly. I haven't even had this book for 24 hours yet and already I love it - that says quite alot, I think!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best bird guide........., 27 July 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Collins Bird Guide: The Most Complete Guide to the Birds of Britain and Europe (Paperback)
I bought this book on recommendation from this website.
It is an excellent guide, the drawings are first class.
I am only a part time bird watcher mainly from my kitchen window and the occasional walk in the local wood.
But this book has been invaluable to me.
Buy it you won't be disappointed.
