This is the first of two field guides illustrating and describing all of the approximately 1,800 bird species found in the Palearctic — the huge region that includes Europe, Asia north of the Himalayas, and Africa north of the Sahara. This area spans the former Soviet Union, the Russian Arctic, China, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, and the Middle East excluding the Gulf countries. This volume covers all the passerines (perching birds, from tyrant flycatchers to buntings), or songbirds.

Every passerine species and subspecies in the area is illustrated and described, in every adult plumage, by Norman Arlott, a leading bird artist with many years of field experience.

  • Colour plates of all field-identifiable species, including subspecies and colour morphs
  • Succinct facing-page text concentrating on key field-identification features, including voice
  • Detailed distribution map for each species
  • Well-researched and accessible
  • Handy field-guide format
  • Essential for anyone interested in Eurasian birds
