My Review


This was a brilliant read. It was back so full of colours ever pages had beautiful pictures or colours on it. I loved the layout of the book everything was well labelled making it easy to use. Every bird was well described with size habitat etc. I liked learning about the different area of the birds as many you just don't think to look at or pay any attention to. I thought it was great that at the back of the book to note down your garden birds each page held a useful tip to remember when observing your birds. To be honest I don't think anything was missing out everything seen to be covered and so well explained without being heavy on the writing. I might not live in America but I certainly loved reading it and learning about to different birds to mine. but I was happy to see we share some birds. I definitely recommend this book if you want to learn or keep track of the birds you see in your area. It's such an interesting reference book.

So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating such a fantastic and beautiful guide. I will definitely be looking out for more books by this amazing author.
