Rezensionen / Stimmen
This first-ever field guide to the birds of Bangladesh does full justice to a country which packs a phenomenal avifauna into one of the most densely populated countries on Earth. * Ibis * I suspect that for many purchasing this book, Bangladesh will be a completely new country to visit. In theory it has no endemic bird species, but actually, there is nowhere else in the world where people are currently seeing Masked Finfoot Heliopais personatus, so the focus on Bangladesh is likely to increase over the coming years and let's hope that the conservation authorities can protect these birds. * Keith Betton, NHBS *
