Approximately 50 pages available, aimed at providing direct identification help between similar, or difficult to separate species, plus photographic comparison of particular invertebrate families. Some of these pages have been written following specific requests, after visitors to www.eakringbirds.com failed to find any easy comparison resources in books or on the internet at the time.
