Reviews
This is an impressive book; authoritative and meticulously researched it represents a major advance for Cyprus ornithology and will surely become essential for the ever-increasing number of visiting and resident birders. -- Peter Flint * British Birds *
A great addition to the Helm Field Guide series and an essential purchase for any birder wanting a compact, light-weight piece of literature to help explore the birding mecca that is Cyprus. * Ibis *
I find this field guide well thought out, attractive in appearance, user-friendly, authoritative, well-researched and representing a major step forward for ornithology on the island. For the many visiting birders, who may wish to bring only one book, this is all they will need. -- Peter Flint * Cyprus Bird Report *
