Comprehensive Guide To British Birds This
DVD is a reference guide ... and,
while this does throw you for a moment or two, that's precisely what this DVD
sets out to provide.
There are several excellent books on the market which offer a handy reference
guide to British birds and wildlife. Their problem is that they can only offer
you a couple of still photographs or drawings of each bird. This "Comprehensive
Guide to British Birds" is so much more effective. Divided into three groups -
birds of the town, the country, or the coast - twenty four birds are featured in
each category. You get a detailed study of each one, with several minutes to
observe it in flight, nesting, feeding, etc., getting to know it from every
angle; the commentary describes its habits, habitat, changes in its plumage,
easy hints to recognise it and distinguish it from similar birds. You learn how
to tell a rook from a jackdaw or carrion crow, how to recognise a female siskin,
and so on.
The DVD is menu driven - look up the bird you want to study, click on the
button, and hey presto! Alternatively, you can play your way through all
seventy-two to familiarise yourself with the most common British birds.
It's a very useful starter kit for the novice, and, if you want to impress your
kids, this will give you a lot of credibility - in fact, let them watch it,
they'll learn quickly. It is a starter kit, but no less useful for that. You'll
want to go on to learn more and identify some of the lesser known species, but
it does encourage you to open your eyes and look at birds. Bird watching is a
wonderful means of relaxation and it is de-stressing. This DVD encourages some
good bird watching habits, and you'll likely benefit from these.
The
photography is clear and uncluttered, the presentation straightforward and
self-explanatory. Overall, it's well-organised, informative, and it will
stimulate both your interest and your knowledge.
