Synopsis

This is a compact, easy-to-use bird identification guide for any birdwatcher visiting Egypt and neighbouring countries. Important as a place where familiar European birds rub shoulders with exotic African species, Egypt offers some of the most exciting birdwatching anywhere in the world and is an increasingly popular destination for birdwatchers. 252 species are described here in detail, covering all the bird families found in Egypt from the majestic Lammergeier to the stunning Nile Valley Sunbird. It includes many species seen readily in the tourist hotspots of Luxor, Aswan and Red Sea coast. With easy-to-use thumbnail silhouettes, a regional map and a map of Egypt showing the best birding localities, as well as handy hints on local birdwatching and useful information on bird biology and behaviour, this guide is an invaluable aid for any visiting birdwatcher.
