This is an indispensable guide to over 90 sites & areas, for birds as well as other wildlife. It contains a checklist of Indian birds & the first comprehensive checklist of mammals. 'I have been unable to find fault with the areas that I am familiar with & the maps are almost like visiting the site again. It is full of detail on both the major sites & a wealth of smaller sites, all of which are well worth a visit. This means that the book has something for both the first time visitor & regular Indian birders. This is a well thought-out book crammed with useful information; the authors are to be congratulated. If you wish to see Indian birds, this book is an absolute must.'

Morocco is a paradise for birdwatchers with its coasts, islands, wadis, plains, forests, mountains & deserts creating conditions that are often very different from those found in Europe.
