Covers all 290 species of true finches and sparrows in the world - the families Fringillidae, Carduelidae, Estrildidae and Passeridae - but excluding the weavers (Ploceidae). As with previous guides, there is a comprehensive text covering field identification, voice, geographical variation, habitat & range, migration, food, habits and description. Full colour plates illustrate every species, with descriptive text and colour distribution maps facing the plates. There are introductory chapters covering general characteristics of the four families.
`a superb addition to a superb series ... should be given high priority for a space on any ornithological bookshelf.' Jeremy Wilson, IBIS
