Vote for your favourite RSPB book

I voted for the RSPB Handbook Of British Birds but also I have found the following title to be very useful, although it isn't an RSPB book, but people might find it of use. I tend to leave the RSPB Handbook at home but take this one out with me as it uses photographs rather than illustrations and is similar to the RSPB Handbook. it's called: A field Guide to The Birds Of The British Isles by Elizabeth Balmer.

I haven't seen it around for a while so not sure if you can still get hold of a copy. We obtained one from a local 'The Works' shop when it was sold in a box together with a cheap pair of binoculars. The binocs were poor but the book was great lol.

Forgot to mention, its World Book Day 2011 on the 3 March (next Thursday), you have until then to vote!

Just a quick reminder about World Book Day on 3rd March (thanks Ian)

Your local library service will be putting on loads of events to celebrate. Try to get down and support your library (before it gets closed!!!)

Hi Ian,

There isn't a wide enough selection there for me. I don't have any of those books so am unable to vote, but I do have several other excellent RSPB books, including Nature of Britain, which is a beautiful hardback,  and British Birds of Prey (by our own Marianne Taylor aka Aiki) - highly recommended, glossy hardback full of beautiful photos and all you need to know about these birds.

 

Hi Sparrow, I bought the "British Birds of Prey" at the weekend and have to say what a stunning book it is.

Everything you need to know about our Raptors and Owls.
