Collins Bird Guide
Lars Svensson: Buy from Amazon.com

- "Well, it has been much hyped but it
is all true. This beats all other European guides by a significant margin.
The songs and calls are extremely well notated, even though the pronunciation
takes some getting used too. Many pictures for each species. Very information
dense. Buy it.

Flight Identification of European Seabirds
Anders Blomdahl, et al: Buy
from Amazon.com
or Amazon.co.uk
- This book is set to become the dedicated sea-watchers
bible. Flight photography is very difficult, especially for seabirds
and yet this volume contains over 650 generally superb shots, each carefully
annotated to pick out the key identification features. Just about every
seabird that has ever occurred in European waters has been included.
(making this book equally valuable to birders on the East coast of America.)
The authors are experts in their field and they have included a wealth
of new information.
