Paperback. Very Good.

UK: Christopher Helm (A&C Black Ltd), 2001. Paperback. Very Good/NO. 234 x 156 mm. NO. A guide to 242 species of birds in Seychelles illustrated in colour including 26 endemics. Information on the islands' geography, climate and birdwatching sites is also included in the introduction.Having worked for 20 years in the Seychelles in the field of conservation I can attest to the comprehensive and complete coverage of birds found in the islands. It is well to remember that Seychelles covers an enormous EEZ from the main island of Mahe to Aldabra 1000 miles to the south west. The book depicts birds found in the granitic and the coraline islands as well as the true oceanic birds and those that from time to time find their way to the 115 scattered islands over the Indian Ocean. If there is one book to take with you when you visit this is it. Superb.

Christopher Helm, 2001. 320, col plates, distrib maps. . PB. Spine slightly faded. Vg.. 1st edition. This is the first comprehensive guide to the birds of the Seychelles, a spectacular archipelago of 115 islands north of Madagascar. It describes and illustrates every species for the first time--more than 250 in all--and gives extended species accounts for all 66 breeding species. These accounts cover breeding biology and, for all indigenous species, threats and conservation. The volume also offers the first detailed accounts of all 26 Seychelles' endemics, including their origins, in popular form. Given the archipelago's location, almost any European migrant can turn up in the Seychelles. This makes it all the more remarkable that the authors consider every species recorded to date, as well as unrecorded potential vagrants. Beautiful color plates and clear plumage details, as well as information on confusion species, are included to aid identification by sex and age.. [9780713639735]
