Complete birds

[Maggie28]

of Britain and Europe. RSPB book by Rob Hume.

Went into town for the Boxing day sales and the other half said he was going to buy me a bird book but didn't know what to get so I found this book and fromm £29.99 to £3.99, I had to take it.
Lot's of useful info and descriptions with photos, much better than drawings.

If you want a good cheap book then go to WH Smiths for this one. Not one you can carry around with you as a field guide, too big

I've got this book. I bought it a while back and it came with an iPod field guide. It's not a bad book but like you say it's big and heavy. I've got the field guide on my iPod but I've not used it as I have the Collins eBird Guide on my PDA.

It has a CD in the book which I've not put on yet but just going to do that now

What's an i-pod and PDA, LOL. I'll stick to my mobile phone

Maggie, you really don't know what an iPod is ? It's an MP3 player from Apple, they come in many flavours amd mine's a 3rd gen with video. It's a few years old now but works just fine and I mostly use it in the gym.

A PDA is a small, handheld computer. Mine's a Dell Axim and the main use was as an ebook reader. As I got a Kindle for Christmas the PDA's going in my camera bag and will be used for notes and bird IDing. Maybe, if I remember.

Maggie is winding you up! What's a Gym though?

I popped into our local WHS yesterday and looked for this. They had a stack on the floor near the till, but they were reduced to £8.99. Perhaps it's a later print?

Dave..

I got it today, £5.99 at our WH Smith. Perhaps they're just making the prices up as they go along.

I've donated mine to my Mum, its a great book but it doesn't really do anything a combination of my other guides doesn't. However, as a single volume its brilliant and had I not already got the Collins guide, a photo-field guide, a cheapo photo encyclopedia of European birds, and a guidebook and cd of songs and calls, it'd saved me quite a lot of money
