Wonderful book, I bought it for my partner to celebrate his first term finishing on his course, he loves the book and brings it around with him!

Very big plant nerd and very good pictures and information, he likes to tell me the things he’s learned :)

This is a great companion book to take on hikes & treks, possibly along with your book on birds and/or trees. Don't want to have to carry too much - just while you're learning to identify birds and plants ;) Birds will also help you realise when some plants / trees are. Great little book and is easy to carry in a large baggy pocket.
