Description
Where to watch birds in Asia is the third guide in a series covering the best birdwatching sites in the great continents. It describes over 250 sites in detail and many more in passing, from Turkey to Thailand and India to Indonesia. Most importantly it answers crucial questions you find yourself asking before you go: Where can I see birds that epitomise the continent? Which country supports the best cross-section of species and the most endemics, and how many sites do I need to visit to see most of them? How long do I need, and when is the best time to go? The layout of the book is very practical, with countries, archipelagos and islands treated alphabetically (countries in the Middle East are covered in a separate section). General introductions to each country are followed by site details, which include bird lists under the heading 'Endemics', 'Specialities', and 'Others', list of other wildlife, if applicable, and the latest information on where to look for the best birds. Over 100 maps and 51 line drawings complement the text. Where to watch birds in Asia will prove invaluable both in the preparation and execution of birding trips to any country in this wonderfully varied continent.
