    What I'd like to see in a Gulls book are photos comparing similar plumage stage birds (of anything remotely likely to be confused) grouped together on same page, rather than having to skip back and forwards between sections/species accounts, along with explanations as to what to look for (or at...

    So little different to the most often recommended book for British birders - "The Collins Bird Guide" then? Granted it isn't strictly a UK field guide but the coverage of Gibraltar is in there for those who might decide they prefer to have it in one book. I'm unlikely to ever need to refer to...
