There are some things I wish had been included (or done better) but I think this is a very personal book, by an "amateur" and is based on the author/photographer's interest & knowledge.
The descriptions/details are somewhat repetitive, which is hard to avoid if there are to be individual pieces on each type of bird. But I found myself confused about the differences.
