5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, if basic , guide to non-passerine birds of the palearctic, February 24, 2009
This review is from: Birds of Europe, Russia, China, and Japan: Non-Passerines: Loons to Woodpeckers (Princeton Illustrated Checklists) (Paperback)
A small, simplified, but elegant paperback. It is both handy and well worthwhile if one isn't looking for an in-depth description of a particular species. This is a spotting and listing guide primarily, with excellent representative artwork (helps one to quickly grasp the unique stance and plumage of each bird on a species characteristic basis, and where possible to show several races). It clearly delineates each species and has a range map - inconveniently appended in the rear of the book.

This is a book of succinct information and the artwork of a very good illustrator, NOT an artist. When paired with the first volume on passerines, also by Arlott, they make a valuable, attractive addition to any birder's library.
