5.0 out of 5 stars A superb addition to any birders library, 16 Nov 2001
By John Girdley - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is quite simply the best illustrated guide to Europe's birds that I have seen. Every bird is pictured at least five times (and sometimes twenty times) in varying poses within its habitat. Seeing the birds in context, really gives this book the edge.
The text , written by an expert, is concise, thorough and up to date. Many of the recent splits are included. The likes of Yelkouan Shearwater and Southern Grey Shrike are illustrated superbly for perhaps the first time in any recent guide.

More than a field guide, the book is coffee table size, and certainly deserves to be in the collection of every serious bird watcher.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top quality illustrations, excellent descriptions, a "must" for every birder, 10 Jul 2008
By A. S. Gilbert (Nottingham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an exceptionally well presented book, with superb illustrations and easy to follow descriptions. Even on a dull, wet day when there are no birds on the feeders in the garden it is nice to flick through this book just for the exquisite drawings.

I can thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in birds.
