The ultimate field guide to the birds of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi.

With a range of habitats from mountain forests and wetland basins to the great, sweeping savannas, East Africa is one of the world's great wildlife travel destinations, and it has an avifauna of staggering diversity to match. This includes many regional endemics and scarcities, some of which have very small and vulnerable ranges, plus a host of Palearctic visitors in the northern winter.

This comprehensive field guide describes and illustrates 1,448 species, including all the resident, migrant, and vagrant birds of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi. Featuring 289 colour plates with more than 3,500 images, it depicts all the plumages and major races likely to be encountered. The species accounts are accompanied by accurate distribution maps, while the introductory sections include information on conservation and maps of important bird areas in the region.

Now in its second edition, this book is an indispensable guide for the visiting birdwatcher. It is also a vital tool for those engaged in work to conserve and study the avifauna of the region. Birds of East Africa is a true must-have for anyone birding in the region.

Recenzijas

As soon as you open the book, you'll realise that the standard of artwork is exceptional. The text is also of an unusually high standard If you are planning a trip to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda or Burundi this is now unquestionably the most valuable book you can buy. And if you aren't yet planning a trip there this is the perfect book to get you dreaming. * Birdguides * Superficially it looks like many other second editions but a closer look shows that this is a major revamp and updating Overall this feels like a new book, and as such travellers to East Africa will need to get it. * BTO News * This second edition of a guide initially published in 2004 is a hefty tome, hardly a surprise when it covers 1448 resident birds, migrants and vagrants. The illustrators are to be commended not only for the superb quality of the drawings, these including breeding and juvenile plumage where necessary, but for surviving the monumental task of producing them. ... Excellent and thoroughly recommended. * Ibis * Will undoubtedly become the field guide of choice for most birders visiting Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda or Burundi, and will also prove useful in adjacent countries ... this really is an excellent guide, significantly different from the first edition and certainly invaluable on your next visit to East Africa. * Frank Lambert, African Bird Club Bulletin * This is a fantastic field guide with both the text and illustrations to a very high standard I am in awe of the amount of work that must have gone into producing such a superb field guide. * Gehan de Silva Wijeyeratne, NHBS * The avifaunal assemblage of East Africa is amongst the most diverse and spectacular in the world. This field guide does this treasure-house full justice and no birder visiting the region, or interested in its birdlife, should be without this volume, which has benefited materially from this revision. * Association of Field Ornithologists * A fine guide that benefits immeasurably from the combined East African experience of Terry Stevenson and John Fanshawe When you are able to board a plane for East Africa this is the guide you will want to take with you. * Travels with Birds *
