Produktbeschreibung

The only field guide to every species recorded in Seychelles.

This compact field guide, based on Birds of Seychelles by Adrian Skerrett, Ian Bullock and Tony Disley (Helm 2000), is the only field guide to cover all of the more than 250 species recorded in Seychelles, including all residents, migrants and vagrants.

Concise text on facing pages highlights key identification features, including habitat, distribution, status and voice. The 65 colour plates, featuring over 800 images, are based on the authors' previous work, but with the addition of many new images.

The text has been completely re-written and revised for this edition, and the plates have been re-worked to accommodate a number of new additions to the country's list. There are now 12 more plates than in the first edition.

Rezensionen

This is an indispensable bird guide for visitors to the Seychelles, whether they are visiting birders or nature-loving tourists... It is certainly a book I wish I'd had when I visited the Seychelles some years ago - it is superb. The Biologist
