Arranged in taxonomic species order, it is ideal for both the beginner and the more experienced birdwatcher.

It is illustrated throughout with more than 1,000 spectacular, full-colour illustrations by leading bird artist David Daly.
Mark Golley is a regular contributor to birding magazines and is well known for his refreshing and easy approach to bird identification. He spent four years as warden of the world-famous Cley Marshes nature reserve, close to where he lives in North Norfolk.

His work has been exhibited widely and his illustrations have appeared in numerous books and calendars as well as prestigious magazines including British Birds. He lives in County Wexford, Ireland.
"[...] Besides a few minor quibbles, this is an excellent field guide and is well worth consideration in the crowded field of books covering birds in Britain and Ireland."
