Any comments on best guides for mammals of Europe? Whichever guide I chose would have to include the Baltic States, i.e. north-east Europe?

In contrast to birds there isn't much in the way of choice when it comes to mammal guides. I have the Collins guide to the Mammals of Europe which seems pretty good. Unfortunately my copy is in store at the moment as I've recently moved house so I can't check the area coverage. However, if I remember rightly it includes things like Racoon Dog and Eurasian Flying Squirrel so I guess it would apply to your part of the world.

Thanks for the info, I saw the Collins guide advertised and was thinking about this one - saw a couple of Racoon Dogs on my land a while back.

Any more comments anyone?

Kingfisher Field Guides includes all of Eastern Europe and in my opinion is pretty good.

Hi Jos-

I have the Princeton version of the Collins guide by Macdonald and Barrett, which does indeed include all of Europe, including the Baltic States.
