"One of British Birds' Best Bird Books of 2019"
"An inspiration for future seabirding trips, a knowledge base for
more familiar species, and a sheer delight to drool over the
amazing images of gadfly petrels, alcids, albatrosses and storm
petrels … anyone with an interest in seabirds needs to buy this
guide."---Mark Newsome, BirdGuides
"A remarkable bird guide; it contains an unusual depth of
ornithological and taxonomic knowledge combined with field
expertise, organized in a readable manner that focuses almost
entirely on bird identification. It is full of visual
identification goodies and smart observations, facts and maps,
up-to-date taxonomy and hundreds of photographs."

pointed out. . . Series world birders will want this on their
bookshelves as will dedicated sea watchers."

two weeks? For me the anser is: once. In case of this one. . . .
buy it!"---Rinse van der Vliet, Dutch Birding
"This book will undoubtedly set a new standard for many years to
come."---Michael Scott, Conservation Biology
"This is an excellent book . . . . A celebration of the diversity
and beauty of the world’s seabirds. . . . It is indeed a major
achievement to have photographed so many of them and to present
them in one publication. This is a ‘must have’ addition to any keen
birder’s library."---Nic Hallam, IBIS Book Reviews
