Birding in Mongolia still feels like a work in progress and for the pioneering birder there are many exciting discoveries still to be made. It's a brilliant country, with lovely people and now a great book to help those visiting and to inspire the next generation of local birders! * Birdwatch * Birds of Mongolia is a very welcome book and the only comprehensive field guide to the birds to Mongolia. It is fit for purpose and undoubtedly the guide that any birder visiting Mongolia should turn to first. I look forward to using it on my next visit! * Frank Lambert, The Birder's Lbrary * In short, this volume has everything you could want in a field guide. * Travels with Birds * I quickly became pleasantly immersed in the book, spent an hour going through it page by page, and realized I must share it with The Birding Wire readers ... If you’re looking for a good novel, consider opting instead for the Birds of Mongolia; I strongly recommend it. * The Birding Wire *
