Reviews
If I ever get back to the Middle East, I will certainly take this gem. * Birdwatching Magazine *
Each bird has a concise but excellent description and where to see it. There is a section on the countries covered, which includes some good birding sites along with images of habitat. * Bird Watching *
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 *
