"Pretty much indispensable to a birder travelling in the subcontinent" - British Birds

With a wide range of habitats and a dazzling and diverse avifauna, the Indian Subcontinent is one of the world's greatest birding hotspots. This second edition of Richard Grimmett, Carol Inskipp and Tim Inskipp's ground-breaking work is a comprehensive field guide to the region, covering all species known to occur in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

Fully revised and updated, this authoritative book includes more than 240 colour plates of detailed illustrations, alongside concise species accounts describing key identification features, range, habitat and voice with accurate range maps for each species.

Peerless in the scope of its coverage yet still portable enough for field use, Field Guide to Birds of the Indian Subcontinent is an essential companion for any birdwatcher tackling the mountains, rainforests, plains, wetlands or deserts of this magical region.

Carol Inskipp is a leading expert on the birds of southern Asia. Having had had a deep interest in birds from a very young age, especially in conservation and environment issues., Carol first visited the Indian subcontinent with her husband Tim in 1977. She has made numerous visits to the region since, and together with Richard Grimmett and Tim she has co-authored several bird field guides to the subcontinent.

Carol has carried out extensive bird survey work widely in Nepal with Tim and later with Nepalese ornithologists. She has written a number of bird conservation books with Nepalis, including the National Nepal Bird Red List and Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas in Nepal.
