This new field guide uses all of the plates from Birds of Western Africa, with a concise, authoritative text
on facing pages, to create a conveniently-sized, lightweight field reference covering all species found in
the region.
The book also has an updated colour distribution map for each species, conveniently placed on interleaved
pages within the colour plates. A number of new images have been painted for this new field guide and several
of the plates have been replaced.
