Birds of Eastern Africa (Collins Field Guide)

Explained in brief descriptions. Liked it 👍

Very useful book for bird watching in East Africa. Excellent coverage and good description of the birds. A little difficult for quick reference.

Very difficult to associate pictures with places

I was most happy to be able to use the Collin's Birds guide in Ethiopia. The drawings are good, albeit somewhat small, but the result is a relatively light compact guide. Moreover what is really good is the presence of a map per bird species, and totally phantastic is that the guide covers Ethiopia, what is not the case with other guides on East Africa.

Das Buch gibt einen wirklich guten Überblick über die reiche Vogelwelt in Ostafrika. Er wäre wünschenswert, dass von dem Buch bald eine deutsche Ausgabe erscheint.

Great points: Compact enough to take on my safari, prompt dispatchSomething to Consider: This is NOT the same as the Collins Guide to Birds 2nd Ed, in case you're comparing the two. Simplistic overview of each bird and for some reason, each "chapter" is names "Plate 1, 2, 3, etc" and you have to look back at the contents to work out which section you are in.Collins! Just name each section, why have you used this "Plate" convention? It's needlessly confusing.Otherwise, great little book and I look forward to using it in Africa!

only had a sneak peek at this book, but looks like what i was expecting.prompt delivery
