Useful reference guide
| Customer Rating:   | | This is a really useful book and is well illustrated throughout with photos to help you identify what you're looking at. Until recently this was the only book I'd take with me when out and about exploring nature, but lately I've taken the Armchair Naturalist by Johnson P. Johnson as well (a beautiful book with some more obscure facts and a wry sense of humour). If you're interested in British nature at all, get both! |
A superb one stop guide to UK Wildlife.
| Customer Rating: | I bought this book after watching countless Nature programs on TV and wanting get out an discover for myself. All I can say is this book as unlocked a new world to my family with my two young boys suddenly taking an interest in the trees, bird and general wildlife around us.
Belive me, for cost of this book you will get alot of pleasure if you just step out of your home and visit your local park be that in a city, town or the middle of nowhere. |
FABULOUS! * * * * *
| Customer Rating: | This is a beautiful photoguide which has proven really useful in identifying insects, animals and plants that i see on my travels. I keep it in my car's glovebox so that where ever I am I have access to it.
There are over 150 double page spreads with a full page of wonderful, bright, close up photos on the right and names and a short description / habits of all the creatures/plants shown on the left.
I am always getting phone calls from my friends asking to borrow it to find out what they have seen.
A really enjoyable buy! |
wot no midge
| Customer Rating: | | looks good apart from the tree section not being brilliant for field identification but imagine my surprise when I looked up the index for the entry on one of the most notorious British species - Culicoides impunctatus - the Highland midge. It isn't there and it definitely should be in a book of that title. |
Comprehensive and well worth the money
| Customer Rating: | | When you are out for a walk it is inconvenient carrying one book on birds, one on trees, one on wild flowers, etc. I wanted a book which would cover all these area - and this book fits the bill admirably (in fact it covers many more areas besides). The only minor criticism I would make is that the section describing trees includes a photograph of either the whole tree or a leaf/fruit for each variety. To assist identification it would have been more useful to have included both items; with the relatively small number of trees included in the book this would not have added much to its bulk. However, do not let this deter you from purchasing this excellent book! |
