Media Reviews
This is a fantastic piece of work . . . . [It] manages to cram a huge amount of information in the pages without it feeling too cluttered or overwhelming. 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
