Collins Bird Guide may be a tad too comprehensive for a beginner birder who is only interested in identifying British species. Many of the birds covered in the Collins are not present in Britain, so unless you’re planning a European bird trip or have an interest in foreign species, then you may want to look elsewhere; either Britain’s Birds or the RSPB Handbook of British Birds would fit the bill. With over half a million copies having been sold, the RSPB guide is one of the most popular British bird books, and deservedly so. Even experienced birders have problems identifying certain species. The multitude of similar-looking warblers, gulls, waders and ‘little brown jobs’ sometimes seem to exist solely to confuse birdwatchers.

Crows have brains that are too big for their bodies, but this allows them to think, plan and consider their actions. The authors team up to tell wonderful stories of the high intelligence of crows.

The text and maps in the Collins Bird Guide are about as small as they could be while still remaining useable, which is something you may want to bear in mind if your eyes aren’t as hawk-like as they once were. For even more birdwatching gear, take a look at our garden bird guide or invest in some of the best kit for wildlife watchers. Alternatively, treat friends and family to some gifts for bird lovers.
