I'm really chuffed with my bargain book, thanks both for checking

didn't do too well with photos today but at least they were clear enough to ID

Just in front of the fire thawing out after a damp, cold, dull day

You'll be surprised how quicklly you'll learn to ID most birds, tho some are a little trickier

Being out in the field with your id guide or staring into the garden - book at hand is the best way to learn. However, I used to sit down during late evening with my guide or take it to bed with glass of wine, did wonders.

I still take my bird, plant, insect id to bed on occasion, a bit obsessive but fab nonetheless.
