Has anyone got this book (ISBN: 0713665149) ?
Any comments about it, positive or negative ?
I'm thinking of adding it to my christmas list.
Many thanks
John

I don't own it but borrowed it from local library for nearly six months. Had to give it back in the end as somebody else wanted to read it. I have now got it on my list for next purchase. Not a book to sit and read from cover to cover but rather to dip into. Loads of fascinating species articles using data from ringing etc.

Thanks very much Keith. I only got to browse it for a few minutes in a bookshop one time, so I wanted to hear from someone who's had the time to really use it. Sounds like the sort of thing I'm looking for.
Cheers

I like it too - a very useful reference book to dip into.

My one reservation is the size and weight - too heavy to comfortably read for long with it on your lap!
