The guides and handbooks on this page were published between 2000 and the present and cover the birds of Great Britain and often the wider European or Western Palearctic region. Crystal clear photographs bring the birds on the page to life, and notes on distinguishing features will help you identify different species of bird in the field. Welcome to BirdForum, the internet's largest birding community with thousands of members from all over the world.

Throughout the book there are special pages that describe the key features needed for separating different families, and groups of birds that share the same habitat. Die Karten sind sehr klein, aber, so ist der Einführung zu entnehmen, es wurde sehr großer Wert auf Genauigkeit der Darstellungen im Rahmen des Möglichen gelegt.I appreciate what this guide tries to achieve, but it’s comprehensive approach makes it as a very complicated app to use which loses any sense of being intuitive.

This handy book is perfectly portable, making RSPB Pocket Birds the perfect companion for taking out in the field.

Including 1,052 fully coloured photographs and 146 distribution maps showcasing all species and subspecies, it's safe to say this is an essential for the bookshelf.
