After visting the Bird fair at Rutland Water I found that out of all the bird guides that cover Nepal this was the best. The artwork is very good and each species is covered with Adult Male / Female and Juvenile plumages . I have only 2 problems with this book. First there are no maps so its hard to tell where each species can be found it does give you the height at which each species can be found and at what time of year. The other problem is it only covers Nepal so if you are going to either China or India you will have to buy another book.
