Recenzii

If you are planning a trip to any of these remarkable small islands, whether for a holiday or any other reason, you just have to pack this highly portable guide in your bag!
It covers a mix of residents and regular migrants, and the focus is rightly on commoner birds more likely to be encountered, but this is enhanced by an understandable celebration of a few regional stars .... For holidaymakers with an interest in birds, for birdwatching holidaymakers, and for more serious birders who might fancy a photographic complement to artwork-based field guides, this book represents a good buy.
