Collins Life-Size Birds: The Only Guide to Show British Birds at their Actual Size

really useful book for identifying garden birds in the uk - its very heavy so you want want to carry it far

I have what I would call more 'serious' birding books.. And added this to my collection as more of a bit of 'fun'.. But actually I am very impressed with it as a more informative book as well! Not only are the photographs beautiful.. The text and maps etc. are all as informative as other birding books (at first I thought it more may be aimed at a younger audience but it doesn't feel that way). The photos are great for comparison as they are large enough to see differences - the tiny birds have life size photos but ALSO blown up bigger ones which is very cool! Ie. For Goldcrest / Firecrest.. The great big ones like the Swan show the head and neck rather than the whole bird (in case you wondered as the book is not swan sized!).. Overall, very cool.. And I'm very impressed with this special book! Would be a fantastic gift for anyone young or old, beginner or dedicated birder - add some FUN to your birding library!!

Great pictures and more

Super fast delivery and super item - Thanks

Could have been sectioned better. Very heavy book

Great illustrations and very informative.

What a fantastic book on our feathered friends! The quality of the photos and overall presentation is superb! Certainly justifies the premium price over other similar bird books

I have several bird books but this is the best book for me. As it has actual size photos of birds I find it helps be to identify unknown birds. Obviously for large birds only a part of the bird is shown in it’s actual size (for example a heron) but there are several photos of the same bird included which helps to detail the bird being looked at.
