Omnibird’s subtitle, ‘An avian investigator’s handbook’, sums this book up well. This is no dry and dusty bird guide, this is an investigator’s handbook full of hints and tips and guides to reading clues in order to help the reader play detective and identify the birds who live all around us. From the shape of their wings to the sounds they make and their colouring and patterns, this book covers all the things to look for when trying to identify a bird.

With sections on how eggs are formed, the various jobs birds do in our environment and even the steps to take to help rescue a bird trapped indoors, as well as information on many of our most familiar birds, this is a fascinating book for both budding ornithologists, as well as anyone with an interest in the natural world.

The illustrations are bright and eye-catching and the information is laid out in a very accessible, child-friendly, humorous way. A brilliant addition to any primary classroom or library.
