Reviews
An essential purchase for resident and visiting birders in these three counties and, considering the wealth of data synthesised within its covers, provides very good value for money. * British Birds *
This is a great book in a great series, and essential for any extended birding visit to these areas of great variety in both habitats and birds. * Bird Watching, Book of the Month *
