About the contributors
Reviews
-
I cannot praise this excellent little guide too highly.
Book Review - British Ornithologists' Union
-
If you're planning a trip it is invaluable, but it's also a beautiful book to look at on a rainy day in the UK!
Wild Sounds
-
If you take just one book to Jamaica, make sure this is it.
Birdwatch
-
...wealth of new data garnered...makes it inherently valuable for the updated distribution maps (far superior to anything previously available for this endemic-rich island) and status details alone.
British Birds
-
...it would be a mistake not to have it with you on a visit.
