Book SynopsisA photographic field guide to the amazing avifauna of the Middle East.
The Middle East enjoys a wonderfully diverse avifauna, featuring a host of wintering and passage migrants, enigmatic and sometimes colourful breeders, and even a few endemics that occur nowhere else.
The ideal companion for any wildlife-friendly visitor, Birds of the Middle East provides photographic coverage of more than 320 species that regularly occur in the region.
Concise text for each species includes information on identification, songs and calls, behaviour, distribution and habitat, with each photo having been carefully selected to guide identification. A guide to the best birdwatching sites in the Middle East is also included.
Portable yet authoritative, this is the perfect guide for travellers and wildlife-watchers visiting this spectacular and bird-rich slice of western Asia.
Trade ReviewIf I ever get back to the Middle East, I will certainly take this gem. * Birdwatching Magazine *

Fits the bill for a book that can be kept in the side pocket of a backpack ... The photographs are typically of excellent quality and cover variation well. * British Birds *
