Books for Birders

I’ve rarely come across a birder that doesn’t love birding books… even in a world of kindles and apps there is something special about holding the printed words and drawn or painted illustrations in your hand.

Every geographical page on fatbirder carries a ‘useful reading’ section that lists of field-guides and other birding books for that area. Each bird family page does the same… but there are many books that do not fit easily into those brackets.

There are on-line books and books that are on line. Dip into some of these and decide whether that is a new art form or just a clever advertising gimmick.

There are too lots of extracts of books and reviews… I have not included these as they are mostly part of studies, reviews or advertising puffs.

As always, please send me links to any website of relevance for this page.
