Reviewsa godsend to anyone wanting to tell a bar-tailed from a black-tailed godwit, a firecrest from a goldcrest or a greenfinch from a siskin. * Daily Express * a helpful new book. ...It is carefully detailed but it is also agreeably written. * Times * It does exactly as it says on the cover. ...a fine book * Sunday Express * this is an indispensable addition to your library. * Scottish Birds *
