Description
A comprehensive field guide to birds of the Canary Islands
This guide covers all bird species found in the Canary Islands, a group of beautiful islands that are home to endemics such as the Blue Chaffinch and Canary Islands Stonechat, and are also one of the best places in the world to see a number of species that are scarce or hard to find elsewhere, such as Houbara Bustard and Cream-coloured Courser.
The book covers every species recorded in the Canary Islands, including vagrants, totalling more than 300 species, which are brought to life on 73 beautifully illustrated plates. The concise text opposite them covers status, distribution, habitat, identification, voice and taxonomy. Also included is an introduction with information on the geography and climate of the Canary Islands, plus habitats, birding sites and conservation.
Compact and pocket-sized yet authoritative, this guide is the perfect backpack addition for any birder or wildlife-friendly tourist visiting these sun-soaked tropical islands.
