Garden Birds of Britain & Europe

by Detlef Singer

Covering British and European birds to be found in gardens, parks and other easily accessible areas, this guide enables even those living in towns or cities to start identifying the birds they see. Each species is illustrated with 2-5 clear colour photographs covering all the important aspects of the species including the male, female, the young and eggs. The text describes key features and each bird's feeding, song, breeding habits, distribution and occurrence. The guide devotes a whole page to the most important and accessible species. In addition, there is practical advice on how best to watch each bird.

[Barry Avis]

A nice reference book but I question whether they are all "Garden Birds" unless your garden is the grounds of a stately home as I am not sure Barn Owls, Goosanders or White Storks appear in most peoples gardens.
Easy book to have in your back pack or even pocket.

Purchased this book on the discounted shelf of a gift shop in Scotland while doing s bus tour of Scotland and Ireland. Having never crossed the pond, I found it extremely useful to identify european bird (the common one). The small size of it was also great for my travels.
