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.
