This is an indispensable and thoroughly recommended aid for birdwatchers in the Middle East and beyond.
Andrew Grieve, Birdwatch
[The] illustrations are all of a consistently high standard . . . Highly recommended.
David Tomlinson, New Scientist
Birds of the Middle East is the first comprehensive field guide dealing exclusively with the birds of this region. It covers all species, including vagrants, found in the Arabian peninsula (including Socotra), Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, and Cyprus. Over 700 species are described in concise texts giving full details of the plumage and voice of all recognizable forms. Distribution maps appear opposite the plates and are annotated with details of each species status and preferred habitat. Four artists have prepared a magnificent set of specially commissioned plates that show all the forms described in full color.
