This is a compact, easy-to-use bird identification guide for any birdwatcher visiting the Middle East and the UAE in particular. The Middle East offers some of the most exciting birdwatching anywhere in the world, and the UAE in particular is an increasingly popular destination for birdwatchers. 252 species are described here in detail, covering all the bird families found in the region from the majestic Lammergeier to the jewel-like Palestine Sunbird. With easy-to-use thumbnail silhouettes, a regional distribution map showing the best birding localities, up-to-date tips on local birdwatching and information on bird biology and behaviour, this guide is an invaluable aid for any visiting birdwatcher.
