Shorebirds of a feather

A review of "Waders of Europe, Asia and North America" by Stephen Message 

If shorebird-watching rather than, say, law school or trick & treating is your prime hobby, this field guide is a real treat. It covers the shorebirds (called “waders” outside North America) you are likely to see if you live around the distant shores of the North Atlantic. And, I suppose, the Pacific. To me, they all look like shorebirds of a feather, but then, I'm a landlubber!
