Birds of the Middle East
R.F. Porter, S.Aspinall: Buy from Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk
- This is a completely revised second edition of the bestselling field guide to the birds of the Middle East. For the first time, the text and maps appear opposite the plates, and as a consequence there are fewer species per plate than before. The text and maps have been fully revised and many new artworks have been painted. There are more than 100 new species in this new edition, which features more than 810 species in total. It will be the essential field guide for anyone visiting the Middle East.

- If your going to this region you must
buy this book. It is a great break through. Comprehensive

in the field: we know how important that is! The text is
well written by experts, and many of the plates are fantastic;
those by John Gale especially stand out; just dream about
those raptors! Birds of the Middle East" is the first
comprehensive field guide dealing exclusively with the birds
of this region. It covers all the species, including vagrants
likely to be seen in Turkey

Accompanying every species entry is a distribution map and numerous illustrations to show the species in all the major plumages (male, female, immature, in flight, at rest, feeding, etc).

- I used this book on holiday in Turkey
last year and I found it had all the vital information required
to make my holiday a greater experience. Every detail beaches,
restaurants, customs, food and what to watch out for were
all explained very clearly. On the subject of food, I was
advised NEVER to eat mussels sold by locals on the beach,
but unfortunately I read the book 1 day too late!
