British Birds: A photographic guide to every common species (Collins Complete Guide)

Liked - UK Birds only with descriptions and glossy pictures together - covers all the birds you would normally see in the UK with a number of rare migrantsSoft backed and small enough to carry around.

It includes everything and has pictures so you can easily identify the birds you see. Bought as a present and he loved it.

Met expectations

Full of stunning pictures it is a lovely reference book and my grandchildren love it. Helps them identify the birds in the garden and Fields suitable for any age right up to my age 69

Really detailed. Great photos. Good for adults or older children.

I bought this book to try and recognise all the various birds which have been visiting my birds feeders in the garden over the year. The excellent photographs in it make is really easy to determine which bird is which, especially as many of them can look so similiar. The birds don't stay for long so being able to look at a photo quickly to determine the species is great. Much easier to determine type of bird than the other books I have which just have drawn/painted images of birds, which I feel are not always the most accurate. The book covers all birds in the British Isles and is divided into types eg: finches, tits, warblers etc with a map by each bird image showing where they are most likely to be seen. There is also description of the bird and its lifestyle, habitat, when and where you are likely to see a particular bird. For a beginner or expert bird watcher I feel this book is a excellent reference book to own and as a beginner, I find the book very easy to navigate through and find out the information I require. Very pleased with purchase.

This was a gift to a friend who like me loves watching the birds.It is so lovely as it is real photos and so you can see exactly what the birds look like.She also was mos impressed.

Our garden is full of beautiful birds some of which we didn't know about

I used this book to identify all the birds I had seen on a recent trip to Norfolk, England. I must prefer photos to painted birds, and this book delivers that beautifully. I found all of my "unsure" species and the book is in tip top shape.
