The definitive guide to the birds of Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalia
The Horn of Africa has the highest endemism of any region in Africa, and around 70 species are found nowhere else in the world. Many of these are confined to the isolated highlands of Ethiopia and Eritrea, but a large number of larks and other grassland birds specialise in the arid parts of Somalia and adjoining eastern Ethiopia. The region is also an important migration route and wintering site for many Palearctic birds. This book is the perfect guide to the birds of the region; it also includes the remote Yemeni archipelago of Socotra in its coverage, which boasts a suite of endemics.
More than 200 magnificent plates by John Gale and Brian Small illustrate every species that has ever occurred in the region. Succinct text covers the key identification criteria., with special attention is paid to the voices of the species, and more than 1000 accurate colour distribution maps are included.
This comprehensive field guide is an essential companion for any birdwatcher visiting the Horn of Africa.
