Title: Essential Reference
Post by: Inchlaggan on January 07, 2015, 03:49:58 PM
This arrived today, essential stuff for whimper hunters and mythbusters. At £11.45 for 450 pages it has to be worth it. I have just dipped in for a few minutes and will post a review once I have ploughed through it.

It had big words in it.
Worth the money, learned, scientific and great to dip into.
The distribution maps are small scale- you will not be able to identify which loch/river has which species.
Dispels a few myths on the basis of science that some folks will find controversial- particularly about pike!
