This is not a complete dictionary but a first help for novices to recognize most of the birds encountered.
The text is short but sufficient and photographs allow good identification.
If you are new to birding, I strongly advise you -and considering the price, you should not hesitate!
By cons, it is therefore incomplete introductory book - turn to the excellent "The birding guide" with Delachaux and to "The Guide to the Birds of France" Jerome Morin if you want the best!
