i have been using online identifiers but not always successfully. i find i am interested in behaviour as much as identification, the whys and wheres.
i have been advised to get Collins Field Guide and will look out for one. But what, if any, is a source of detailed behaviour? does it exist outside of academic papers.
ii want detailed observed behaviour, feeding details, including seasonal, flight movement and action. is there another layer of serious birding books i could go to.?
not looking for instant ID more to get further reading so that i may get a hint from that: ie. 'observed picking sap from upper twiglets of x bush during y season after the z fly population has final hatch and prior to final emergence of lesser spotted midge in marginal birch groves when moon is in first quarter ....' (all made up of course).
