The definitive guide to the birds of the Emirates.
The United Arab Emirates may be small and arid, but it is an increasingly popular birding destination. Not only does it have an excellent tourist infrastructure, but it also hosts a range of species high on the wishlist of any Western Palearctic birder, such as Pharaoh Eagle Owl, Menétriés's Warbler, Crab Plover and the legendarily elusive Grey Hypocolius, along with a suite of scarce wheatears, abundant migrants in the winter, and big numbers of wintering waders, terns and gulls.
This field guide to the Emirates covers all regularly occurring birds in the region. A Gulf-centric text focuses on identification criteria, with information on habitat, vocalisations and plumage variation, along with detailed range maps. More than 100 colour plates lie opposite the text for easy reference, helping any visiting birder make the most of their trip.
Birds of the United Arab Emirates is the last word in bird identification in this small but ornithologically rich strip of the Arabian peninsula, and an essential companion for the wildlife-friendly visitor.
