"One of British Birds' Best Bird Books of 2019"

The text is concise but thorough enough to help with identification . . . . this is a must have for new and seasoned birders alike."---Scott Mayson, British Trust for Ornithology
"The book is packed with quality colour photographs, no mean feat to gather so many images together for one book, with at least two images per species sometimes more. . . this a great pocket guide to British Birds and I would certainly recommend it to anyone getting into birds and birdwatching."---Alan Davies, BirdwatchingTrips

Third it is relatively inexpensive, and with a durable cover. In short, it is a great guide for beginners to take in the field . . . Even for more experienced birders there are details that make it worth keeping handy."---Will Cresswell, Scottish Birds
"This is a fantastic book packed with useful information and stunning photographs. It will be a welcome addition to the beginner, intermediate and expert alike.
