Field Guide to the Birds of Bangladesh
£50.00
Usually dispatched within 2-5 days
Bangladesh – an amazing country packed with rich birdlife that until recently has been very much off the beaten trail in terms of birding. Why is this? Part of the reason is there has never been a field guide to its ornithological riches – until now. Birders are increasingly turning to this relatively safe country. And what wonders await them. This book is the perfect guide to the rich avifauna of Bangladesh. Written by two of the top birding authorities in the region, Richard Grimmett and Tim Inskipp, along with regional expert Paul Thompson, it features concise identification text and accurate maps opposite a series of superb plates illustrating all species and subspecies in the country. Field Guide to the Birds of Bangladesh is indispensable to anybody interested in the wildlife of this beautiful country.

This first-ever field guide to the birds of Bangladesh does full justice to a country which packs a phenomenal avifauna into one of the most densely populated countries on Earth. * Ibis * I suspect that for many purchasing this book, Bangladesh will be a completely new country to visit. In theory it has no endemic bird species, but actually, there is nowhere else in the world where people are currently seeing Masked Finfoot Heliopais personatus, so the focus on Bangladesh is likely to increase over the coming years and let’s hope that the conservation authorities can protect these birds. * Keith Betton, NHBS *
