Reviews
'I cannot praise this excellent little guide too highly.' Book Review - British Ornithologists' Union (2009) 'If you're planning a trip it is invaluable, but it's also a beautiful book to look at on a rainy day in the UK!' Wild Sounds (2009) 'If you take just one book to Jamaica, make sure this is it.' Birdwatch (November 2009) '...wealth of new data garnered...makes it inherently valuable for the updated distribution maps (far superior to anything previously available for this endemic-rich island) and status details alone.' British Birds (November 2009) '...it would be a mistake not to have it with you on a visit.' Scottish Birds (2009)
