At the time of writing this (Spring 2010), Steve Dudley's book has provided a genuine and up-to-date Birder's Guide to the Greek island of Lesvos. It starts with short sections about Lesvos culture, history and the like but rapidly builds into a logically-sectioned "where to see what bird" guide with detailed instructions concerning where to turn off the major roads, what areas not to park on, where not to point optics (army bases!), what birds to expect and even pointers to friendly Tavernas. For someone who has never visited the island before, it was of enormous value and I would heartily recommend it, along with a good road map, even though the binding (also as with Richard Brooks paperback version guide to Lesvos birding) disintergrated after only a few weeks (albeit avid) perusing.
UPDATE: As regards the binding issue, apparently this was a fault with earlier-published books and these can be replaced by returning the cover page to the publishers.
I would also add that the book was invaluable to us - we visited most parts of Lesvos and tallied well over a hundred sightings of bird species (with an embarrassing number of "lifers") following the guide notes - many thanks Steve. I would heartily recommend this book as a genuine, bird-sympathetic bird-watching guide to both new and old visitors to Lesvos.

We used this guide extensively throughout our recent trip to Lesvos in April/May - it has everything you could want, including very accurate and detailed descriptions of where to find some 60 spots to view migrating and local species and good suggestions for where to eat in local tavernas etc. Other than having Steve Dudley standing next to you, everything you could reasonably need is in this book. well done Steve -you set a high standard.

We used this guide with the Brooks guide swopping back and forth between them. This is the more recent one and so has some more up to date information but we used Brooks' excellent maps (which handily became loose leaved when the binding broke!) Both books are geared up to Spring watching but the sites are the same for Autumn though apparently not the same numbers or species. However this was not a problem as we have never been in the Spring and as such didn't know what we had missed plus Lesvos is a wonderful island for all nature and there were plenty of dragonflies and butterflies to make up for any lack of bird species. One note: beware some of the tracks on the Dudley maps. He must use a 4x4 when he goes. In our little basic hire car we had to just look enviously at rough tracks diappearing into the distance.
Listmania!
