For any of y...That's a very nice review, Phil!<br /><br />For any of your readers who may be "on the edge" about whether to obtain this guide due to its non-traditional format, I've used the North American version for two years and highly recommend it as an addition to any birder's library!<br /><br />Since I was the BIG WINNER of your drawing for Crossley's ID Guide, Raptors, (thank you very much!), I shall graciously refrain from entering the current draw as I might accidentally win again and subject you to charges of blatant favoritism.Wally Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121368850135565674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-18738295641217864862013-11-07T13:25:53.169+00:002013-11-07T13:25:53.169+00:00Interesting guide..

I love the idea of showing the birds at varying distances, because that is realistic to you they are often seen. The 'cut and paste' collage look of the artwork is unusual too - I disliked it at first out of respect for tradition, then warmed to it a lot!Christian Perrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835955663432829705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-56889026309612734262013-11-07T10:29:54.343+00:002013-11-07T10:29:54.343+00:00your review of this guide is well written Phil, ju...your review of this guide is well written Phil, just as every other blog post is. If I were a U.K. resident I'd definately be interested in going in the draw, or purchasing this book too.

At first I thought I wouldn't, but then I realized how wonderful it would be to have it when/if we finally manage to get to Britain.<br />I've been to Morecambe, and have seen Morecambe Bay. We had a family friend who lived on the Isle of Man, and another friend on the east coast, so they both met me, my parents, brothers and sisters-in-law in Morecambe and we went out for a pub lunch. Great fun.<br />KKay L.

It seems the British one follows in the same way. I do hope it is successful and that you can use it to encourage the locals to learn a little more about the birds in the area!Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940828763843098232noreply@blogger.com
