I'd really like a recommendation of a good bird book that's not too expensive
Hi Cheryl

It's tricky to answer because different people have different ideas of what expensive is. I guess the definitive bird book is the Collins Bird Guide. You can get it for as little as £9 on Amazon.

I also like the RSPB Handbook of British Birds which you can get for free by joining the RSPB. The pictures are nowhere near as expansive as in the Collins, but I thought it was a good book for beginners. The text is very readable and it's a good place to start.
