About this title

Synopsis

This is a fully updated edition of this compact, easy-to-use bird identification guide for any birdwatcher visiting China and Hong Kong. This area is one of the world's top destinations for birdwatchers. A total of 252 species is described here in detail, from the majestic White-naped Crane to the strikingly colourful Large Niltava. All of these birds are clearly illustrated in a collection of specially commissioned colour photographs. With almost 300 full-colour photographs, easy-to-use thumbnail family silhouettes, a regional distribution map and handy tips on the best birding localities, this guide is an invaluable aid for any birdwatcher visiting the region.
