Collins "Birds" A
complete guide to all British and European Species
Dominic Couzens: Buy from: Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk
- A superb coffee table table sized,
photographic companion to Collins' own equally excellent
European Field Guide. Dominic Couzens is to be congratulated
on his clear and informative writing style. He brings
the birds alive in a way that a field guide simply doesn't
have space to do. There is much to learn in this book
even for the most avid of birders. I shall be dipping
in for weeks to come.

Collins Bird Guide
Lars Svensson et al: Buy from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk
- Described by some as the best field
guide in the world, and 15 years in the making. Has it
been Worth the Wait?...Yes definately! If you buy just
1 book a year then make sure that its this one. Stunning
drawings by the worlds finest bird illustrators..and
it shows..check out the plates on tern, Skuas, and the
Ducks...not forgetting the Finches and Crossbills...Includes
all the birds likely to be seen in Slovenia

The Complete Guide to the Birdlife
of Britain & Europe
Rob Hume, Peter Hayman (Illustrator):
Buy from Amazon.co.uk
- 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.
More than a field guide, the book is coffee table size, and certainly
deserves to be in the collection of every serious bird watcher.

Recommended travel books for Croatia:

Croatia (Bradt
Travel Guides)
Piers
Letcher: Buy from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk
- This guide to Croatia is the most detailed, comprehensive
and above all readable guide to the country. It gives not just
all the things you'd expect from a guidebook -- when to go,
where to stay, what to eat and drink, what to see, how to get
around, and how much it's all going to cost -- but also provides
amusing and thought-provoking insights and anecdotes about
Croatia, its culture and people, and its history. This is the
one book you should have with you when planning a trip to Croatia.
Highly recommended
