Description

"Pretty much indispensable to a birder travelling in the subcontinent" - British Birds

With a wide range of habitats and a dazzling and diverse avifauna, the Indian Subcontinent is one of the world's greatest birding hotspots. This second edition of Richard Grimmett, Carol Inskipp and Tim Inskipp's ground-breaking work is a comprehensive field guide to the region, covering all species known to occur in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

Fully revised and updated, this authoritative book includes more than 240 colour plates of detailed illustrations, alongside concise species accounts describing key identification features, range, habitat and voice with accurate range maps for each species.

Peerless in the scope of its coverage yet still portable enough for field use, Field Guide to Birds of the Indian Subcontinent is an essential companion for any birdwatcher tackling the mountains, rainforests, plains, wetlands or deserts of this magical region.
