Description

The definitive identification guide for birdwatching in Sri Lanka.

For birders, Sri Lanka is a must-visit. From the dry-zone of the southeast, haunt of Yellow-wattled Lapwing and Sri Lanka Swallow, to the cool highlands where Yellow-eared Bulbul sing and Pied thrush overwinter, the island has stunning birdlife in abundance., with 29 endemics and a host of regional scarcities. No trip is complete without a visit to the magnificent Sinharaja rainforest, home to species such as the Green-billed Coucal, Sri Lanka Blue Magpie and Serendib Scops Owl.

This field guide provides full coverage of every species on the Sri Lanka list, including most vagrants, with particular emphasis placed on endemic species and races. Outstanding plates are allied with detailed text that highlights key identification criteria, along with accurate colour maps.

Pocket-friendly yet comprehensive, Birds of Sri Lanka is the definitive identification tool for the visiting birdwatcher and an essential addition to the backpack.
