This must have been covered before, but I can't find the relevant thread, so would be interested to hear anyone's opinions:
When you go birding in the UK, which field guide do you always carry?
Do you use a 'Britain & Europe' Guide for UK trips, or does a comprehensive 'British List only' guide exist? I'm thinking of one that would include ultra-rare vagrants, but cut out the many hundreds of European/Middle Eastern species that have never been recorded here. Such a guide could presumably go into far more detail for an equivalent bulk/weight...
Thanks in advance for your response.
