Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This photographic guide depicts a selection of the most commonly encountered and striking bird species of Madagascar, the Seychelles, the Comoros, and the Mascarenes - a region boasting high levels of endemism. The species accounts cover the birds' appearance, basic behaviour, preferred habitats, and geographical distribution. Each species account enjoys a full page which features a colour photograph, distribution map, and text in English and French.

This photographic guide is a follow-up to the earlier and more extensive field guide of 1998 by the same authors. This smaller book was intended to expose the reader to the more "striking or extraordinary" species of the region. This guide has excellent colour photos of 128 species (about one-third of the 360 in the region) that are sampled from each of the key areas covered in this book. Each bird is also given a brief descriptive paragraph along with its range and its general natural history.
For those people interested in seeing quality photos of rarer, isolated birds, this book will be enjoyed. Although it should not be considered a substitute for the field guide, it is a good study aid to many of the unique birds. For a more serious birding trip to the smaller islands around Madagascar, the field guide by the same authors is a highly recommended and necessary alternative.
The text is written in both English and French.
