As I say it is a good read however it is perhaps a little cheap feeling, for the money paid, a splash of colour on some of the illustrations would make the book far more appealing, the text is very good, informative and I can guarantee you will be checking some of the more 'common' stuff for rares after reading it!Can anyone recommend the best guide to shorebirds/waders on the market at the moment?Thanks</blockquote>
