Synopsis

A portable yet comprehensive guide to the birds of the Lesser Antilles

The Lesser Antilles – incorporating the nations of Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, along with numerous dependencies – are rich in birdlife. It is a magical region for a naturalist to explore, with endemic parrots, orioles, thrushes, warblers and more.

The perfect companion for any wildlife-savvy visitor to the islands, Birds of the Lesser Antilles includes superb photography of every regularly occurring species across the islands, including all endemics and many subspecies.

Concise text for each species includes information on identification, songs and calls, behaviour, distribution and habitat, with each photo having been carefully selected to guide identification.

Comprehensive yet compact, this is the ideal guide for birdwatchers visiting these spectacular and bird-rich tropical islands.
