Our Opinion: This wonderful book covers the entire state of Brandenburg, in Northeast Germany, which has a particularly rich diversity of birds, some of which are either rare in the UK and Western Europe, or are present here in exceptional numbers.

The introduction includes Location and Description of the Area, Outline of the Guide, Travel, Accomodation and Maps, Vocabulary, Protected Areas (including National Parks, Biosphere reserves, Natureparks, and Nature Reserves), Calendar, and a Species Summary. The sites include a short description, access details, and a list of possible species. Maps and photos of the area are included when possible, and the author provides guidance on parking details and on paths and roads to follow, best viewing points, and details of public transport for urban areas. The book concludes with a regular species list, with English, German, and Scientific Names, a list of German names in alphabetical order with their English counterpart, References and information sources, a species index, and a general index.

This is a very well-produced guide, with clear, detailed maps, and a wealth of helpful information.
