A brilliant reference guide that actually works.

I have the updated version- really useful if you go to Slimbridge or the other WWT reserves. It enables you to see how closely related birds such as pochard and tufted duck are, plus it helped me sort out all the geese such as white fronted and barnacle. Fact I learned- Canada geese were introduced into the UK first in the 17C- I thought it was much more recently.
