| | | Mammal field guide
Hi wabbers.
Being a birder, I have the usual field guides and general and specialist referance books. I even have a Butterfly id guide but something is missing. Today, after seeing a mouse that I couldn't identify i realise what that is.  Can someone out in WAB land recomend a good field guide for mammals.
Cheers David.  p.s. and thanks to Dogghound for identfing my mouse as a Wood mouse |

Hi David, I would recommend the Collins Complete British Animals by Paul Sterry Collins Complete British Animals: A Photographic Guide to Every Common Species Collins Complete Guides: Amazon.co.uk: Paul Sterry: Books it has every mammal found in Britain as well as all the reptiles and amphibians. Excellent photos, easy to understand text and clear maps. They also have guides to birds, mushrooms and toadstools, trees, wild flowers and insects.

recently bought the Mammals of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East it is fantastic and contains superb illustrations and covers more than 400 species by S Aulgnier et al. It is available in all good bookshops in a hardback version which will fit a large pocket now or you can order it at a discounted price from Birdwatch magazine and their online bookshop. Try birdwatch.co.uk to look at this and other superb titles in
It covers more than Britain but is very, very useful and one that i will refer to for years to come both here and when travelling around Europe and North Africa next year | | |
