Description

The definitive guide to the birdlife of Kazakhstan, Kirghizstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan.

Central Asia includes a diverse variety of habitats with a rich avifauna that includes some truly mouthwatering specialities, from sandgrouse, ground jays and larks on the vast steppe and semi-desert to woodland species such as warblers and rosefinches and a suite of montane species including snowcocks, accentors and snowfinches. Ornithologically, Central Asia is very hard to beat.

This book represents the only comprehensive guide to the region. It includes 141 high-quality plates, covering every species (and all distinctive subspecies) that occur in the six countries covered, along with concise text focusing on identification, and accurate colour maps. Important introductory sections introduce the land and its birds.

Birds of Central Asia is a must-read for any birder or traveller visiting this region, and an essential addition to the backpack.
