A Birdwatcher's Yearbook Best Bird Book of the Year [An] excellent Princeton University Press guide. ---Stuart Winter, Sunday Express [The book] lays bare the intricacies of the moult and aging of gulls, but in such a simple and comprehendible way that it is impossible not to glean valuable information even on the first read through. ---Brian Robertson, Scottish Birds No matter what your experience of gulls might be, there is certainly plenty to learn in the book . . . . An excellent book and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in identifying gulls, whatever their ability. ---Brian Small, British Birds The authors are among the foremost experts on this taxing group, and have pioneered research into identifying distinctions among many of the most cryptic species. This book is a distillation of that knowledge and experience . . . . Highly recommended. ---Dominic Mitchell, Birdlife Magazine A landmark for future photo ID guides. ---David W.McAllister, Highland Naturalist This is one of the best books I have seen so far on gulls, and it is packed with identification tips and features, and excellent, clear and concise pictures. . . . It is a great reference book to check any field notes made later and is set out in an easy-to-follow format which is a welcome change. I thoroughly recommend this book to the beginner and expert alike. ---Neville Davies, Gwent Wildlife Trust An analytical as well as a holistic approach to identification pointing out the detail as well as the broader picture. ---Steven Rutherford, British Naturalists Association [A] must have book. . . . 'Gulls' deserves to find a place on any serious birders book shelf. ---Phil Slade, Another Bird Blog [An] excellent and easy to paw over book. ---Bo Beolens, Fat Birder The most up-to-date and comprehensive gull guide available. . . . After a few spotting sessions armed with this book you may be tempted to become a larophile. ---Eric Brown, News Shopper An excellent reference source. ---Gordon Hamlett, Birdwatcher's Yearbook With 45 illustrated species and subspecies and nearly 1400 images, this superb book looks like one of the most complete guides on this topic and cannot be missed by Gull experts. . . . A little gem! ---Gaia Bazzi, Avocetta: Journal of Ornithology
