This pocket guide is designed to help readers distinguish between “confusion” birds – those birds that can be easily mistaken for another species. With photographs and illustrations comparing birds such as the willow warbler and the chiffchaff. The commentary includes distribution, size and description, variations by age group, flight identification and rare variations. The 88 colour plates help the beginner to solve the most difficult problems of identification, and there are bibliographies on each species included. The author is a member of the British Birds Rarities Committee and the artist, Alan Harris, is joint Art Consultant to “British Birds” magazine. He was awarded the title Bird Illustrator of the Year in 1980.
