Book Reviews of Birds of Europe
Book Review: A unique and wonderful birdwatching guide
Summary: 5 Stars
If you need ONE birdwatching guide for Europe, I highly recommend this one. It is comprehensive, it has rich information (including, of course, habitat and maps), and the illustrations are absolutely a delight to watch. Most birdwatching guides are illustrated by mediocre artists. Not this one. It is worth its price even if you do not care about birdwatching and you just like wildlife art. The many little illustrations showing birds in their own habitat are simply beautiful, and are a nice change from the standard "bird on uniform background" which are the standard for BW guides. From an artistic point of view, it's even better than Sibley's guide to the bird of North America (the one guide I recommend for the US). The book is not one of the lightest, but it's small enough that it's not much of a burden to bring it with you (it's smaller and lighter than Sibley). This is a wonderful book, certainly superior to other field guides such as the old Peterson Mountford and Hollom, which will of course remain a classic. Highly highly recommended!
P.S. If you buy this guide now, make sure you purchase the SECOND edition, which at the time of writing this PS just came out.
