Publisher:
ISBN: 9780756766467
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 160

Book Description
This highly illustrated, comprehensive and easy to use volume is a guide to a unique avifauna, the birds of the Seychelles and outlying islands in the Western Indian Ocean. The Seychelles remains one of the least disturbed island groups, and one of the last to be studied by ornithologists. Easy species identification and the tameness of the birds -- some of them among the rarest in the world -- combine to make bird-watching in the Seychelles rewarding for the novice bird-watcher and fascinating for the ornithologist. In addition to being able to put a name to a bird, this book also provides information on how the birds live, what they feed, when they breed and why there are so many great rarities. 1105 color illustrations, and 362 maps.

The Birds of Africa: Volume VIII PDF Author: Roger Safford
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1472982894
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 1025

Book Description
Universally recognised as by far the most authoritative work ever published on the subject, The Birds of Africa is a superb multi-contributor reference work, with encyclopaedic species texts, stunning paintings of all species and numerous subspecies, informative line drawings, detailed range maps, and extensive bibliographies. Each volume contains an Introduction that brings the reader up to date with the latest developments in African ornithology, including the evolution and biogeography of African birds. Diagnoses of the families and genera, often with superspecies maps, are followed by the comprehensive species accounts themselves. These include descriptions of range and status, field characters, voice, general habits, food, and breeding habits. Full bibliographies, acoustic references, and indexes complete this scholarly work of reference. This eighth and final volume covers the Malagasy region which comprises Madagascar and the various islands and archipelagos of the Indian Ocean including the Seychelles, the Comoros, Mauritius and Réunion. Every resident and migrant species is covered in full detail, comparable to other volumes in the series, and with a colour map for each species. Vagrants are treated in less detail. All species are illustrated on a beautiful series of 64 colour plates, with original artwork from John Gale and Brian Small. This is a major work of reference on the birds of the region and will remain the standard text for many years to come.
