Anders and Tweets

Well, Anders, you made me go and look at my shelf!

Birds of Europe with North Africa and the Middle East
by Lars Jonsson
Published 1993

Birds of Europe
by Killian Mullarney, LARS SVENNSON, Dan Zetterstrom
and Peter Grant
Published 1999

Both Princeton UNiversity Press

Have used the first on an earlier trip and was given the second.
The new one appears to be a vast improvement but has not
been "Field Tested' by me ... YET!! I missed a couple of
birds and need to go back to the old home sod and get (twitch?)
them.

Both books would fit in a backpack and be worth carrying.
