Review
'For visiting birders, I would unhesitatingly recommend this book as a must - there is no other guide like it.' Scottish Bird News (June 2007) 'Tony Clarke's guide is more up-to-date, and more pragmatic in its approach, than any other work covering the Atlantic Islands, and should be required reading for every resident or visiting birder.' Birdwatch (August 2006) 'Tony Clarke's energy, enthusiam and awareness shine through time and time again - it's a splendid achievement. I like his whole approach... not only has he filled an important gap in birding coverage, he has done so in a way that, if slightly quirky, works very well.' Birds Illustrated (Spring 2007) 'Tony Clarke's superb new book covers all the species recorded on the islands to date...supported beautifully by Chris Orgill and Tony Disley's illustrations. This is an absolute must-have for the birdwatcher planning a trip to any of the Atlantic Islands.' The Visitor (13th September 2006) 'This excellent guide is the first to deal exclusively with the birds of this spectacular region... This has to be the field guide of choice for anyone visiting the islands.' Birdtours.co.uk (29th August 2006)

This is an excellent book which i bought to take on a trip to the islands of Cape Verde. I found the book very helpful in detailing what i could expect to see on islands as a whole and on each of the individual islands. I found the information provided to be accurate and informative and highly recommend it to other birders.

If, like me, you are holidaying in the Canaries or any of the other Atlantic islands and have a passion for birds this is a must have guide.
Great images and detailed descriptions I found it invaluable.
There are other books which will give you some of the birds you are likely to see but this guide seems to be the most comprehensive guide at a practical size for the holiday maker or serious birder alike.

Good book
I would have preferred a book especially for Madeira or on a different occasion especially for The Canaries. Nevertheless did the trick.

The perfect book for the area - if you need it.
This book is just THE book upon birding for the Canary Islands, Madeira and the Azores and Tony Clarke is one of the leading lights in the world upon its subject matter. Read more
