About this title

Synopsis

For more than twenty years, Bates and Lowthers traversed the western Himalayan region in order to photograph the 116 remarkable bird species identified in this volume. Descriptions of these birds and their habits accompany 151 photos, which will be of interest to both amateur and professional bird watchers and photographers. This attractively written book is an interesting and illuminating guide to the beauty of the avian life of the Vale of Kashmir.

Review

'Recommended for any visitor and for India-addicts.'
Birding World

`This attractive book remains the definitive work on the birds of the Vale of Kashmir and neighbouring valleys.' World Birdwatch

'A straight reprint (printed in New Delhi) of the valuable work published in 1952 and long out of print. Bates and Lowther provided a mass of new information on the nesting habits of birds in Kashmir, which must have been extended but is unlikely to have been superseded by later observations.
Very good value for a modest price.' Bulletin of the British Ornithologists' Club
