About this book

Please note: although published by A&C Black, this book is more a monograph than the typical Helm Field Guide they produce. The book does not contain colour plates with paintings of bird species. For a field guide to the area we recommend Birds of the Middle East instead, which, amongst others, covers Turkey.

Turkey is a popular destination for birders and tourists, and although there has been much published on its birds over the past 40 years, there has never been a comprehensive avifauna.

The Birds of Turkey redresses this. It contains a detailed account of every species on the Turkish list, with a full breakdown of records and status, distribution in Turkey, and taxonomy. A distribution map accompanies each entry. There are also authoritative introductory chapters on geography, climate, habitats, history of ornithology and conservation.

Media reviews

"This is without doubt a monumental publication, Guy Kirwan and his team are to be congratulated on a thorough, professional publication that will without doubt be the essential reference for Turkish birdlife"
- BirdGuides.com February 2009

"this book is a great achievement in the study of birds of the Middle East"
- Falcon Research Group, Spring 2009

"The Birds of Turkey is a up-to-date, comprehensive and solid ornithological work of reference on the taxonomic, distributional and breeding status of the country's birds. [...] an important benchmark not only for Turkey, but for the entire Middle East region."
- Utku Perktas, IBIS – The Journal of the British Ornithologists' Union
