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!
