New Books from First -Nature

FIRST NATURE (www.first-nature.com) provides free access to more than 1100 pages of articles and photographs of British and European wildflowers, fungi, birds, insects, fish, mammals, reptiles and trees. The authors, Pat and Sue O'Reilly, provide an online response service to questions about:
Wildflowers (Sue is a noted authority on British and European wild orchids and, under the nom-de-plume Sue Parker, she is the author of several books on this intriguing subject)


Fungi (Pat's lifelong interest in these fascinating organisms has made him one of Britain's most consulted amateur mycologists).
If you are interested in wildlife, ecology and countryside topics, do take a look at the BOOKS section of the First Nature website, at www.first-nature.com/books where you will find some excellent and inexpensive books and interactive CD-ROMS including the Wonderful Wildflowers of Wales (four volumes covering different habitat types such as Woodlands and Waysides, Seashores and Coastal Cliffs etc).

(There is also a beautifully illustrated guide to Algarve Wildlife, written by Clive Viney and Ray Tipper.)
