The Birds of Britain and Europe with North Africa and the Middle East, Over 1000 Birds Illustrated in Colour by Hermann Heinzel, Richard Fitter and John Parslow
Prachtige gids en heel handig om snel een vogelsoort terug te vinden. Alleen blijken details over het gebied waar de soorten voorkomen intussen wel fel achterhaald.
Uses the format of the Chandler Robbins (Western Pub.) Birds of N. America, i.e., color illustrations and color range maps with the species descriptions. I got this (in 1984) along with a copy of the Peterson/Mountfort Birds of Britain & Europe, which was in the old Peterson format (black-and-white with separate central collection of color plates) - a format so unhelpful that I never used that book.
