Following this thread I googled MacMillan Field Guide to Bird Identification which came up with plenty of matches - www.birdguides.com has it available
M09304 Macmillan Field Guide to Bird Identification £14.99 plus p & p

I've ordered it but I don't know what pictures will be on the cover!

Macmillan Field Guide to Bird Identification

spoke too soon - got an e-mail today from Birdguides to say they don't have it in stock and have not date for it coming in!

... so I've suggested that they might think about pulling it from their site until if and when they get some stock...

Woody you can always back up your ID book witha birdguides cd rom.One can put in all the features and it comes up with what it thinks it might be ,plus a list of very similiar species,so you can have a few to choose from.

Hey Jim - welcome to the bird forum. I am sure you will find this a great place to visit and a source of much good information and knowledge.

- Whereabouts in Sheffield are you?

The Macmillan Guide to Bird Identification

Actually Amazon have it shown as out of stock in both the US and UK stores. There is a independent US bookseller who have it listed but in my experience (see earlier in the thread) that's no guarantee that they actually have the book and even if they do it's not going to be cost effective for us UK based birders to try and order it :-(

Thanks all.

I have some more second hand bookshops to try so I'll keep my eyes open.

I picked the MacMillan up a couple of months ago. I think you might find it in a village bookshop or somesuch where stock doesn't change that much. I got mine in Long Melford.

I have also seen it in those shops that sell discounted (remaindered) books - god knows why it would have been remaindered though - it's superb!
