Dear TN Birders, More than a week ago, I sent out a request for information to the list about British birding guides, and I got a *huge* response. I've just now been able to compile the different recommendations and wanted to share them if others were interested. Many thanks to everyone who responded both off-list and on. With all of these recommendations, we'll definitely be able to find a guide to suit our needs before November! 6 votes Birds of Europe: (Second Edition) (Princeton Field Guides) Lars Svensson (Author), Dan Zetterström (Author), Killian Mullarney (Author) http://www.amazon.com/Birds-Europe-Second-Princeton-Guides/dp/0691143927/ref =sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317765143&sr=1-1 3 votes Collins Complete Guide to British Birds: A Photographic Guide to Every Common Species (Collins Complete Photo Guides) Paul Sterry (Author) http://www.amazon.com/Collins-Complete-Guide-British-Birds/dp/0007236867/ref =sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317765189&sr=1-1 1 vote Birds of Britain & Europe (Collins Nature Guides) Jurgen Nicolai (Author), D.
