5.0 out of 5 stars Robins not covered, 16 Nov 2006
By Sarakani (Harrow United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This book makes it clear it only covers the Turdinae, the true thrushes and thus ignores chats, robins and magpie robins. It is well written and illustrated. I just hope there was more information about where the rest of the genera considered as Thrushes should be allocated and someone will cover these so called Saxicolids soon.
Good for a collector of bird books and researchers in a growing series of similar books though not all are of this same standard.
