Just been having a look on the Book People website and found this one.

Here is the write up
"The beauty and drama of the avian world brought to breathtaking life. From hummingbirds weighing less than a coin to monkey-eating eagles this is a unique celebration of birds, photographed and studied in their natural environments around the world. Explore the complete bird story: from their origins to bird watching locations, with up-to-date information on flight, anatomy, feeding, communication, breeding, habitat, migrations and life cycles. Spectacular features on the most impressive birds, plus a huge catalogue that profiles nearly fifteen hundred different species makes this is a must-have for every bird enthusiast. This book is published with Birdlife International, the world's leading avian authority."
For £9.99 for this hardback edition it would be a wonderful Christmas/Birthday present or even just for a good read. The same book is on Amazon for £19.50.
I have had books from this firm before with no problems.
Forgot to add about the "Collins Complete Guide to British Wildlife" for £4.99

Yes we will know what most of the UK birds look like but it also has mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates you are most likely to see - as well as some of the less common species - together with all the common plants.
We have the Mediterranean Wildlife version of this book and have found it useful when we go to Mallorca to name those plants and insects that you don't get here.
