    I was wondering if anyone could recommend a book on Irish birds. Ideally looking for something simple, photos rather than drawings if possible. Of course nothing too expensive.

    I'm getting a lot of new birds into the garden and would love to be able to identify them properly - got my first redpoll today!
    Thanks

    Another really good book by Jim Wilson is Shore Birds of Ireland. Got it on loan from my local library. The library is great if you want to save money :D
