There's a bonus at the back of the book - a section called ''spotting and jotting'', with the pictures of the birds repeated and you can tick them off as you see them - a sort of ''I Spy'' book for adults. I can see this being used too - the hardback book is of a size which fits with no trouble into a backpack or a pocket and will stand some travelling.
I've a minor quibble about the book: there's no index. I have an outing planned to the RSPB reserve at [http://www.rspb.org.uk/discoverandenjoynature/seenature/reserves/guide/b/bemptoncliffs/ Bempton Cliffs ] on the east coast of Yorkshire with the intention of seeing the puffins and I wanted to see if there was something about the bird, but there was no way of finding out ''quickly''. The bird is there but the only way to find it was by reading through the contents which are not in alphabetical order. Yes, I know. I'm picky.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy of the book to the Bookbag.
