Recenzii

Despite all of the information, the size of the book is suitable to pop into your rucksack when out and about, and I highly recommend that any birdwatchers living in or visiting Wales do just that. I also think that those with a more general interest in nature would find this title of interest, as many of the sites included offer some of the finest nature experiences Wales has to offer. Da iawn - very good!
