I just wanted to highly recommend Collins Complete Guide to British Wildlife: A Photographic Guide to Every Common Species (Complete British Guides)
This books has so far managed to help me identify our Common Darter, Dragon Fly and also our Common Newts.
Well I got a bit of a shock the other evening! There I was lifting more of the pamment tiles when all of a sudden just where I was lifting I spotted what I thought was an old plastic toy animal. However, it was not there a second before. So I lifted it up only to find it was not plastic but real. My next assumption was that it was well and truly dead – then in blinked at me and I nearly dropped it in shock!
