BIRDS OF EUROPE, RUSSIA, CHINA AND JAPAN - NON PASSERINES

This is one of two companion field guides that illustrate and describe all of the approximately 1,800 bird species found in the Palearctic — the huge region that includes Europe, Asia north of the Himalayas, Africa north of the Sahara, and the Middle East excluding the Gulf countries. This volume covers non-passerines — non-songbirds, including raptors, owls, swifts, hummingbirds, cuckoos, and pigeons. It includes every non-passerine species and subspecies, in every adult plumage, all illustrated and described by Norman Arlott, a leading bird artist with many years of field experience.

• Succinct facing-page text concentrating on key field-identification features, including voice
