The Collins Bird Guide is still the best guide for European birds in my opinion. You can find a link to it here.

It's the best guide to any region's avifauna that I've ever seen. I've never seen another field guide that combines such fantastic artwork with immensely informative text and puts it all in such a usable format. I wish they all could be like the Collin's Guide.

There's also a German version of the guide by Mullarney, Svensson, Zetterström, and Grant: Der neue Kosmos-Vogelführer, alle Arten Europas, Nordafrikas und Vorderasiens. In the English version, the info on the status (common, rare, vagrant, etc) of the various species mainly applies to Great Britain, while the info on the status mainly applies to Germany in the German version. Still, if you're not up-to-speed on the German, you might prefer the English version mentioned in the previous posts (the species coverage, art-work and main text is the same - only the info on the status differs).
