Birds of Sri Lanka

Very Good used hardcover in dust jacket. Slight shelf wear and small tear to DJ.

Sri Lanka is one of the most bio diverse countries in the world. There are 33 species of birds that are considered endemic to the island, and 450 species of birds when residents, migrants, vagrants and pelagics are taken in to account.  This book is a splendid introduction to a cross section of some of the varied families of birds found on the island ranging from the brilliantly hued sunbirds to majestic birds of prey.

Text and photographs by one of the foremost wildlife photographers/writers in Asia.  It is written in a light and engaging style, without sacrificing scientific accuracy, and draws on many years of field experience.  Both beginners and experts will find the book insightful and a visual treat.
