REFERENCE, GUIDE & BOOKS OF INTEREST
There are a number of books and reference tools out there whether that be for identification, reference or guides for more detailed information. I often purchase a publication and find that it was not really what I required. I would not go as far to say that all items of the disregarded books were poor or wrong, as I think this is dependent on the level of interest in that particular time on that particular subject. What I would say is that there are some publications that have stood out from the pack, or at least in my opinion.
When I started bird watching and wildlife gardening I have found these books a great help and with a little time reading some of these I have definately gained some worthwhile information and gained much help with identification. Once a book has been bought and read it may sit on the shelf for a while but it is always a valuable tool for further reference. For met he ID guides are probably the most regularly used as these offer an ongoing education due to new things which are encountered.
I hope that this section may help others choose what I feel are useful publications that are a pleasure to use and that I have not yet tired from.
