This is an excellent guide and one that is essential for any visit
to the region. Central Asia provides a rich source for many
vagrants to Europe, and this is a concise guide to the many iconic
species and distinctive races that are highly sought after in
Europe in late autumn. The appeal of this book extends well beyond
its intended market and should be useful for anyone with an
interest in Central Asia and its birds.
*British Birds*
An absolute must for anyone travelling in the region. Excellent
concise text, good artwork and a wealth of fine detail.
*Sandgrouse*
Even if this field guide had not been entering into a clear field,
I'm quite sure the information contained between its covers would
have trumped whatever was available already – as it happens, there
are no alternatives, and that only goes to enhance the value of
this book yet further.
*Birdguides*
Detailed and clear … the ideal practical guide - don't leave for
Central Asia without it.
*Bird Watching*
This book is an essential addition to any birder's bookshelves –
for anyone who has visited or is visiting the region or indeed, is
interested in birds that may occur as vagrants to Europe. Finally,
to include Afghanistan in this book is a very bold and welcome
move. The authors and artists are to be heartily congratulated.
*Birding World*
A classic field guide from Helm, presented in a comfortable way
that works well in the field. … An essential book if you are
birding anywhere in the region.
