Field Guide to the Birds of the Atlantic Islands: Canary Islands, Madeira, Azores, Cape Verde
Tony Clarke: Buy from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk
- Long awaited. This excellent guide is the first to deal exclusively with the birds of this spectacular region. It covers all resident, migrant and vagrant species found in Macaronesia which comprises the Canary Islands, Madeira, Azores and Cape Verde. This has to be the field guide of choice for anyone visiting the islands. The status notes on all the birds are particulary welcome.

Collins Bird Guide
Lars Svensson et al: Buy from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk
- One of the few (and the best) European fieldguides that give coverage to all of the Canary Island specialties.... Fuerteventura Chat, Bolles Pigeon, Berthelots Pipit, Canary etc and some of the island forms like the Tenerife Goldcrest and Tenerife Bluetit.

And some useful travel books:

The Mini Rough Guide to Tenerife
Christian Williams: Buy from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk
- Great to see at last a book that shows the real Tenerife. Must sees that the books backs up are Teide & Gomera. Can't wait to explore the Northern island on my next trip! Hope the fact that a book exists about the island will be enough to make people view this as a possible holiday destination.
