Reviews

[Sam · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a thorough account of the wildlife that can be found across the British Isles over the course of a year, with recommendations of where to go to see some of the better examples. Not as user friendly as I would like as a quick reference guide of where to go and when but still informative none-the-less.
