There is a pleasing mix of photographs and and high quality artwork for each species together with texts that cover descriptions, behaviour, distribution and similar species. An invaluable field guide at a very reasonable price." -- BTO News, March/April 2007"It is likely to become the definitive guide to these fascinating creatures." -- Saturday Guardian, 25th November 2006"One of the most attractive, well-produced and comprehensive guides ever published...
