A landmark publication, by authors whose knowledge of the sub-continent is unsurpassed, this book is the first definitive guide to the birds of the region. Over 1,300 species are covered, all depicted on colour plates. The text concentrates on identification, with information on habits and distribution. There is a detailed map for every species. An invaluable guide.
&i`The plates are generally excellent: they are beautifully painted and have clearly been painstakingly researched. Male, female and juvenile plumages, and different morphs and some races are all shown. This is a major new work, which was much needed. For any birder visiting the Indian Subcontinent it is an absolutely essential purchase.'Peter Harris
