- If your going to this region
you must buy this book. It is a great break through.
Comprehensive and complete, it eliminates the need
to carry too many books 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 most of the species, likely to be seen in
the area
