I got this for my birthday, and I like what I've seen and read so far!

It's beautifully photographed, and is actually talking in language that people would understand unlike some books! :roll: It's got how to keep a record of what you see, what kinds of binoculars you need, how to make your own pond, and loads more.

The book has a wonderful, helpful monthly guide for the year. In here, it tells you what sorts of wildlife are best for watching, how to get to see those animals, and has a 'things to do' in every one, including seal trips, pond-dipping and rock-pooling. Also for each month it has one 'interesting' animal for you to focus on, like otters, bitterns and kingfishers. From how to find doremice to watching bitterns, it has all the things you need to know about the wildlife of the current month and it really teaches you a lot!

Well, I can't wait to use it in the summer holidays. It should be good! :mrgreen:

It certainly is a cracking book for those who like to watch wildlife and is ideal for those who are raw beginners.
