Where to Watch Birds in World Cities
Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
Where to Watch Birds in World Cities by Ernest Garcia
Following the familiar Where to Watch Birds style, it covers top birding sites which are within easy travelling distance of 60 of the world's largest city centres. All birders enjoy the excitement of birding abroad. However, many overseas trips are for business or for family holidays, and birding opportunities may be frustratingly brief. This book is aimed at all birders who would like to make the most of their trips abroad, even when birding time is limited. It includes detailed travel and access information as well as overviews of the sites' habitats, species likely to be seen, and advice on the best times to visit. Armed with this guide, a travelling birder will easily be able to plan an enjoyable few hours of birding, perhaps between meetings or connecting flights, even in an unfamiliar country.
'The perfect gift for the jet setting birder' Saturday Guardian (25th November 2006) 'The book seems to be choc-full of great birding destinations.This is one book that I can imagine will get considerable use from a great number of people, and as time goes on yet more destinations will be added to its already impressive content.' The Visitor (January 2007) 'Bravo to Paul Milne... [A] groundbreaking work... The standard of coverage is extremely thorough... Buy this book now and start planning.' Birdwatch (March 2007) 'This book is a very useful addition to one's travelling library.' BTO News (March/April 2007) 'This impressive compilation is essential reading for anyone interested in the dynamics of urban bird populations.' IBIS (2007)
Paul Milne is a keen birder who has travelled the world on birding trips and on business, building up an impressive knowledge of good birding sites within reach of major cities throughout the world.
