A Field Guide to the Birds of the Gambia and
Senegal
(amazon.com) - USA (amazon.co.uk) - UK
by Clive Barlow, Tim Wacher, Tony
Disley (Illustrator)
This field guide covers the area of the Gambia, a
country which is very popular with a large number of birders. The Gambia
shelters many migrants from the Western Palearctic, from September to April, as
well as having a significant list of resident West African birds. The guide
also covers Senegal, which almost entirely surrounds The Gambia. The colour
plates depict 570 species - virtually every species recorded in The Gambia -
and the text covers every species on the Senegambian list, as well as a few
which are likely to turn up in the future. In total, over 660 species are
described in the book. |
