I have been reviewing some of the bird books that I have re-acquired recently. Modern printing techniques make the latest bird book offerings far superior to their older counterparts, the photographs and drawing almost 'fly' off the pages at you. But guess which one I use most of all, The Collins gem.
It is not the most comprehensive bird book in the world, although it does describe and illustrate 230 European species. It also gives details of appearance, habitat, nest and song and calls. It also gives a map of the areas in which particular species can usually be found. All this is excellent. The photographs are not the biggest, but adequate, but where this little beauty beats all the others, is it can stay with me all the time, because of its size (11 cms. deep x 8 cms. wide, and that is why I get more use out of it than anything else.
If I am out and about and see a bird I am not sure about, I look it up in this book and then if I can pin it down to a particular species I can look in one of my more comprehensive books at home and that is why it gets much more use than any of the others. I wouldn't be without it.
