This allows you to easily locate every mention of the same bird within the journal.The Checklist section has header columns, so you know which column is for what. At the time of writing, no other birding journal has this.The Life List has spaces for date & location. OK, we'll admit, ours isn't the only journal that has this particular feature, but it's surprisingly rare in birding journals.Here's what NOT to expect from this journal:NOT A BIRD IDENTIFICATION GUIDE: This journal is purely for recording your observations, you'll find no pictures of birds in this journal (save one topography diagram at the front). We advise you to use this journal alongside a good Bird ID book or app.NO PRE-FILLED BIRD NAMES/SPECIES: This means you can use this journal anywhere in the world, you simply fill out the name & species of bird as you identify them.Unlike other birding journals, which have the Life List at the back as an afterthought, this journal is more like a Life List with details. It's got the Life List at the front, followed by detail pages (1 page per bird), then checklist columns. Once you finish one journal of 120 birds, you can extend your life list with journal #2 and so on.So pick up a copy of this birding journal now, get it before you see your next new and exciting species, so you can record all the details in your new life list as and when it happens, rather than have to recall the details from memory. Review: This journal is very nice there is plenty of room to write and you have all of the sections titles you need. It is very well formatted and the binding still looks like new. Review: I bought this journal for my granddaughter for Christmas. She has become an avid bird watcher this past year, and was really excited when she unwrapped it on Christmas. An hour or so later, she was already copying the notes she’d kept on her iphone into the journal, and was up to 68 birds she’d observed. It was clearly the winning gift! ## Features - LIFE LIST: List new species as you see them, with space for species name, location and date (120 entries over 8 pages). - DETAILED SPECIES LISTING: Write all of the details about each bird, with plenty of space for both notes and sketches (120 pages, 1 page per bird). - CHECKLIST: Gives each bird 8 columns, so you can divide each sighting of a bird up by location, year, season, who saw it, and more (120 entries over 10 pages). - All 3 of the above sections cross-reference one another by page number. This allows you to EASILY LOCATE EVERY MENTION OF THE SAME BIRD WITHIN THE JOURNAL, which saves you time. - 133 total pages for 120 bird entries | A5 SIZE (8.3x5.8”) | SPIRAL BOUND - so you can effortlessly open and lie the book completely flat, allowing lots of space for easy writing. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0D3J8L7SL | | Brand | OptiLiving Publishing | | Color | Misty Blue | | Cover Material | Cardboard | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (98) | | Date First Available | 27 October 2024 | | Item Weight | 249 g | | Manufacturer | OptiLiving Publishing | | Manufacturer Part Number | 5060862710214 | | Material Type | Cardboard | | Model number | 5060862710214 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 21.08 x 14.73 x 1.52 cm; 249 g | | Sheet Size | A5 | | Size | A5 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** OptiLiving Publishing - **Colour:** Misty Blue - **Cover material:** Cardboard - **Format:** Notebook - **Model year:** 2023 ## Images ![Birding Journal with Life List & Checklist A5 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61UeLnW0pJL.jpg) ![Birding Journal with Life List & Checklist A5 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61nLaAacN1L.jpg) ![Birding Journal with Life List & Checklist A5 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ohrh7BenL.jpg) ![Birding Journal with Life List & Checklist A5 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cYHHh9puL.jpg) ![Birding Journal with Life List & Checklist A5 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81DuB79EXbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***E on 1 October 2025* This journal is very nice there is plenty of room to write and you have all of the sections titles you need.
