Reviews

Goodreads review by Jessica on January 14, 2025

Really good read. I use the Merlin app on my phone and see the birds that are in my local neighbourhood then refer to this book. It is so interesting to know what their likely interactions are when they are twittering away.......more

Goodreads review by Susan on September 29, 2024

Disappointing. Contains only black and white pictures of the birds, the writing quality is uneven, a few odd omissions, eg, no section on ravens despite covering other corvids......more
