Collins Bird Guide
There are many other ways in which the guide helps the birder get a good ID. Birds are often posed “typically”. That is to say instead of all just being in profile many are shown in situ with typical habitat around them…

Getting Ready for your Holiday the Birdguides Way
This might, of course, involve cancelling the newspapers and finding a cattery for Tibbles or hitting the high street for some sandals and the beauty shop to wax your bikini line; but, if you’re a birder it amounts to research and planning…

Essential Reading - Cohen & Spottiswoode
Why do I torture myself like this? Every time I look at a field guide or a “where to watch…” type of guide, I immediately want to book a flight to whichever birding hot spot is being described, or to wherever the birds illustrated reside.....

Snapshots from a different angle
Kaufman's new field guide is a remarkable tour de force... says John Cantelo. On the other hand, no matter how good the photograph, and no matter how hard an author such as Kaufman tries to get things correct, the printing process can result in severe colour distortions… says Jim Barton. Two birders from either side of the Atlantic review Kaufman’s new photo based field guide “Birds of North America”.

Books
Birds of the Czech Republic
While in no way wishing to detract from the ornithological importance of Josef Kren's book, the poor organisation and presentation of the material, and to my mind several obvious omissions, cannot be allowed to pass without comment. The publishers, Christopher Helm are far from blameless in this respect.

DVD
Video - Gosney in Texas
Video guides are a compromise between soulless video checklists and moving birding holiday diaries; a compromise that, in this case, works very well indeed. There is enough in there for the twitcher who needs help with their ID skills as well as for the armchair birder who just wants to get a flavour of Texas as a birding destination.

DVD
Birds of Bolivia CD-ROM
Bird Songs International BV
version 2.0 (published 2000)

Bird Songs International sent me this CD-ROM to review and it has, I have to say, not been a chore but a real pleasure. My first hand experience of the South American avifauna is very limited – just a few weeks in Trinidad – but I am familiar enough to know how splendid is the variety, how stunning are the colours and how sharp the calls. This product certainly does all those illustrated justice.
