Collins Bird Guide

Mullarney, Svensson, Zetterström, Grant

The most complete field guide to the birds of Britain and Europe. Provides all the information needed to identify a species at any time of the year. Fully integrated; the text and distribution map, and the illustrations for each species, are on facing pages. Over 3,500 original paintings by the world's leading bird artists illustrate all the major plumages. This is the best selling bird guide ever published.

"The Collins Bird Guide is undoubtedly the finest field guide that has ever been produced and now deservedly sits in a bird book elite of essential titles - nestling between BWP, HBW and Birds of Europe. The nomenclature and taxonomy may not be to everybody's liking, but it is a certainty that the magnificent work of Mullarney and Zetterström has set the illustrative standard for decades to come and will be admired and enjoyed by thousands of birders world-wide for many years. The word `classic' is so often over-used these days but, for once, it is a particularly fitting way to refer to this book. This is the last great bird book of the 20th Century, and I am sure that Peter Grant would have been happy knowing that. It is a fitting tribute to him, and his co-author and the world class artists. This book is an absolute gem."
