Advantages: Fantastic Drawings, Very Detailed Information On Every Species Disadvantages: Quite Expensive
I have had an interest in Wildlife for as long as I can remember and in particular I have always had a passion for Birds. My Garden is full of Bird feeding devices and I have spent many enjoyable hours at my window watching the Birds feeding there.
Any serious Birdwatcher will possess a Field Guide and over the years, since my early teens I have always used the Collin's Guide to the Birds of Britain and Europe.

As with all TomTom maps, easy to see, easy to use, easy to understand, and easy to update.

We spent two weeks in the area ...
