Editorial Review:

Manufacturer's Description:
Based on the award-winning CD-ROM Guide to British Birds, this single disk features only the birds that most people are likely to come across either in their local countryside or on a trip to the coast. Hence it is cheaper than the 2-disk set, all on one disk and doesn't include the rarer species which might otherwise cause unnecessary confusion. Coverage of the 120 species includes video clips and sound recordings so you get to see and hear each species just as you would in the wild. There are also paintings, commentaries, distribution maps, quizzes and keys and over 1000 screens of text telling you all you might need to know about every species. Remember though that keener birdwatchers will prefer the CD-ROM Guide to British Birds as this includes the rarer species such as Osprey, Golden Eagle, Avocet and Bearded Tit.

- A mid-way guide
As "A.Customer" states several birds are missing, in additon to the Ring Ouzel, I miss The Peregrine falcon, Marsh Warbler and Lesser Spotted Woodpecker. The disc is old and doesn't self load and while I can use it on my laptop and 8 year old Evesham, it won't run on my latest Duo 2 powered desk-top although all three machine use Windows XP. Users of more modern P.C's beware.

I was always told that you should never judge a book by it's cover...I was wrong. This was not what I expected as these birds have feathers on them and I was expecting more bikini's

Never mind at least I now know where eggs come from

- Excellent CD for the interested amateur
The CD only arrived this morning and it is faultless for anyone who is interested in identifying the sights and sounds of common birds in garden and countryside. This is quite an old version, and doesn't even have automatic setup, so I was cautious about how streamlined a package it would be. In fact it is incredibly easy to use and has everything available on the same screen (with options for full screen or split for comparisons). The multi-screen allows you to see four interactive windows, with ... Read More

- A guide for beginners
If you are a beginner to Birdwatching this guide is a good starter but once you become established at birding this CD Rom soon becomes frustrating as it is missing some birds that are regularly seen in Britain e.g Ring Ouzel, Short eared owl. I quickly regretted my purchase and wished I'd gone for the Guide to British Birds in the same series. Having said this the CD Rom is easy to use and can help in identifying common species usually found in any British Garden
