Good practical book for bird watchers
This is a good book for people who don't know the areas too well or are looking for more information about bird watching sites in these counties.

I used it to find a couple of sites in Somerset recently and they were exactly as described in the book.

The maps are good as are the descriptions of the birds that are likely to be seen at various times of the year.
