‘Focus on’ Companion Guides have a number of important features, including:

– A listing of all the bird species that are regularly present in the region that is in focus

– An indication of where within the region each bird family and species can be found in its native state

– Sub-region lists, with indications of restricted ranges within sub-regions

– Spotlighted species that have a restricted range within the region, or a restricted worldwide range

 

The key feature of all eBooks in the Companion Guide series is the way you can quickly and simply access relevant, up to date online information about every featured bird species. If your reading device is connected to the internet, a single click will take you to a search results page for a species, from where you can continue to search for additional information to whatever level of detail you desire.

 

Within each ‘Focus on’ Companion Guide you will find the following sections:

REGION LISTS – check which species occur regularly within each sub-region

COMPLETE LIST – taxonomic details, showing each species’ order, family, genus and scientific name

SPOTLIGHTED BIRDS – country, local and regional endemics, plus selected specialty birds that have a restricted range within the region in focus

INTRODUCED AND OTHER SPECIES – birds that may be regularly encountered in the wild but which are not native to the region, plus species that were once or may have been ‘regularly present’ but are no longer regularly present

QUICK REFERENCE – follow the links to find birds based on their common English names
