The definitive guide to the birds of Pakistan
Pakistan has a rich diversity of bird habitats, from the dry alpine and moist temperate forests of the western Himalayas to the deserts of Baluchistan and Sind. This diversity of habitats supports a wide variety of species, and some 669 have been recorded. These include some serious big-hitters – names such as Orange Bullfinch, White-cheeked Bushtit and Long-billed Grasshopper Warbler are guaranteed to stop any birder int their tracks – along with a suite of warblers, laughingthrushes, rosefinches and pheasants, such as the stunning Western Tragopan that graces the cover of this book. And, with Pakistan little visited by birders, there is always the chance of finding something new or extraordinary.
This guide covers every species known to occur in the country. Superb plates are accompanied by a succinct text highlighting identification, voice, habitat, altitudinal range, distribution and status, and there are accurate distribution maps for every species.
Birds of Pakistan remains the key birding field guide to the country. It’s an essential addition to the backpack of any birder living in or visiting the region.
