Birds of Seychelles - the definitive field guide to these jewels of the Indian Ocean - just got even better.
This enhanced fixed-format version of the book - featuring songs and calls - is set to change birding forever.
Optimised for iPad, it presents the book in crisp, clear high-resolution. Superb, fully zoomable colour plates of the highest detail lie opposite comprehensive identification text and accurate range maps, In addition, the e-book features songs, calls, and other sounds from 250 species, representing coverage of more than 95% of species that occur on these islands, placed conveniently next to the accompanying species text.
This epic collection of images and sounds represents a step change in the way birders operate. No more carrying hey books into the field; no more trying to remember sounds days or weeks after the event, while all other methods for taking sounds into the field are consigned to the dustbin. This e-book provides a complete field-based ID solution - no birder will want to be without it. This compact field guide, based on Birds of Seychelles by Adrian Skerrett, Ian Bullock and Tony Disley (Helm 2000), is the only field guide to cover all of the more than 250 species recorded in Seychelles, including all residents, migrants and vagrants.
Concise text on facing pages highlights key identification features, including habitat, distribution, status and voice. The 65 colour plates, featuring over 800 images, are based on the authors'' previous work, but with the addition of many new images.
The text has been completely re-written and revised for this edition, and the plates have been re-worked to accommodate a number of new additions to the country''s list. There are now 12 more plates than in the first edition.
