The definitive guide to the birds of Cyprus.
An authoritative guide to the birds of Cyprus.
Cyprus is a great place for birding, and one of the most popular places for birders to visit in Europe. It holds populations of a number of regional scarcities that are very hard to see elsewhere, plus a number of endemic subspecies, and the jewels in the crown – three full endemics, Cyprus Wheatear, Cyprus Scops Owl and Cyprus Warbler, the latter of which graces the jacket of this Helm field guide to the island.
Detailed plates are allied to concise identification text, with accurate maps stemming from Colin Richardson's decades-long programme of population-mapping on the island. Together, these elements make this the definitive guide to Cyprus’s birds, one that no visitor to this beautiful island can be without.
This is an impressive book; authoritative and meticulously researched it represents a major advance for Cyprus ornithology and will surely become essential for the ever-increasing number of visiting and resident birders. -- Peter Flint * British Birds *
A great addition to the Helm Field Guide series and an essential purchase for any birder wanting a compact, light-weight piece of literature to help explore the birding mecca that is Cyprus. * Ibis *
I find this field guide well thought out, attractive in appearance, user-friendly, authoritative, well-researched and representing a major step forward for ornithology on the island. For the many visiting birders, who may wish to bring only one book, this is all they will need. -- Peter Flint * Cyprus Bird Report *
