CD guide to birdsong (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone,
This Saturday coming i am planning on getting a cd audio guide to birdsong. My ideal cd guide would have the commentary of the bird and have british birds on. Also i would like them to be sorted out into groups in habitat and so on. I thought about getting the "Collins Birdsong and calls of Britain and Northern Europe" I saw it in Waterstones and thought it looked adequate for my needs. Does anyone recomend another guide.
Thanks, Steven

Hi Steven

I know this has been discussed several times in the past so a search may give you the best answer.
Personally I have a CD Rom of British Birds from Birdguides and that has lots of audio and video.

Cheers

Bill

Hi Steven,

you've just described the Collins guide perfectly ;)
It's not a bad reference tool, but you should be aware that there are some slightly annoying omissions.............Cetti's Warbler is the one that springs to mind immediately.

I'd recommend it as a "beginners" guide though, definitely.
