The practicalities of working in the field are the fundamental skills for any bird photographer. Here the author's many years of professional experience allow him to explain clearly his methods for stalking, using hides, and photographing rare birds, even in tough conditions, as well as advanced techniques such as using decoys or tapes. Each section contains a feature interview with leading international bird photographers showcasing their work and the techniques or subjects with which they are associated. An extended section of case studies shows how field techniques are put into practice to capture stunning images of many birds. Introductory chapters on equipment and creative camera techniques, and concluding chapters on post-production, including digital storage, complete this comprehensive guide.

Strengths:
readable , packed full of useful info
Weaknesses:
An excellent guide to photographing wild birds by an author who used to be the RSPB staff photographer and is thus extremely knowledgable but also puts his expertise over in simple easy to understand language.
whether you are new to bird photography or an experienced pro there will be something here for you
even if you are that rare person with nothing left to learn , the photos alone would justify the purchase.
