A Guide to Endemic Birds of Ethiopia and Eritrea

Bird watching is an international pastime and Ethiopia and Eritrea are some of the most spectacular places in the world for this sport. For the first time, the thirty endemic birds of Ethiopia and Eritrea are brought together in one volume for easy reference. An illustration of each bird and a distribution map accompany a brief description of each species. Information on habitat, distribution, behaviour, breeding, threats and IUCN category is also included to assist the keen observer. An introductory chapter and a complete list of all known localities for every species make this an invaluable reference guide for both amateur and professional bird-watchers in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In the field or in the library the full colour photographs of this volume will both spark interest and answer questions about some of the most beautiful birds in the world.
