Excellent book May 6, 2008
Lovely pictures, facts up to date and very useful, fits in pocket nicely.
My only gripe is that there is no information regarding the birds eggs perhaps this is intentional to help stop egg collectors pilfering nests? but it would have been hard to cram any more information into the book.
It gets my 5 stars!

Small, yet packs in so much information. This book goes out with me in the field every time. Good value too!

This nice little pocket guide is essential for everyone who is beginning to observe birds .It contains all the species that one is likely to find in the British Isles .
Identification of birds is made easy by comparing the birds with the most similar species and highlighting the differences.
This guide will fit into any small back pack and will resist the past of time very well .
Reasonably priced and of a very nice size this guide and a pair of binoculars is all you need to start bird watching.

Having been discharged from hospital and told to take it easy was forced to slow down and start walking instead of jogging.
I kept on finding birds in the countryside that I had vague memories of from childhood but was unsure of what I was seeing.
I bought this book and a small set of binoculars and found it very helpful. The photos and text within are first class. I have become a bit of an anorak as a result of this book and often end up sitting in peace and quiet watching birds and attempting to identify them!!
I would highly recommend it.

There are literally hundreds of bird identification books on the bookshelves and to be fair most of them are excellent, obviously some are more comprehensive than others and cater for all tastes from the casual watcher right through to the enthusiast.
This a small book and in this case, small is beautiful. Its size is what is important to me. There is nothing worse than having to carry a book around plus a pair of binoculars, camera etc. Obviously the content of the book is very important too and this one will certainly hold its own with any other type of guide. We would expect nothing less from an RSPB book. The photographs are stunning and there is plenty of information on each bird featured. I don't think that you will get a better compact 'field book' than this one.
