5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful bird book but is it a field guide?, 16 Jan 2003

By	"lwmark" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Birds of Kenya and Northern Tanzania (Helm Identification Guides) (Hardcover)

Birds of Kenya and Northern Tanzania is a wonderful reference book of East African birds. Its Comprehensive,informative and brilliantly illistrated, but.............I do wonder about its usage as a field guide for two main reasons. Firstly, its not the cheapest publication in its subject area and though the hardback version is undoubtedly robust, if you love your books as I do, then packing it, unpacking it and thumbing through it on safari might cause you to wince a little. Secondly, its a heavy publication and not for the faint hearted on a bird walk, particularly if your going to juggle binoculars, camera and note book as well. I certainly want it on my library shelf but will use it alongside smaller, lighter but less comprehensive publications in the future, Perhaps the paperback version offers a more useful option in the field.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive guide to birds of this region, 5 Nov 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Birds of Kenya and Northern Tanzania (Helm Identification Guides) (Hardcover)

This is a truly excellent field guide and brought me great pleasure on a recent holiday in Kenya and northern Tanzania.The plates are of superb quality and the text is clear and helpful in highlighting confusion species.The one slight drawback is the weight of this hardback edition.It certainly is not a pocket guide!I understand that a softback edition is now available.This may prove to be a better option for anyone making a one-off visit to the region.It will definitely be cheaper and take up less luggage space.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only field guide to use in Kenya., 12 Nov 1999

By	dj_kelly@lineone.net (Prestonpans, Lothian, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Birds of Kenya and Northern Tanzania (Helm Identification Guides) (Paperback)

I used this book on a recent trip to East Africa and it was invaluable. No other field guide to this region is comparable. The authors have cut down the hardback handbook to make an excellent field guide, especially for those LBJs such as larks and cisticolas. For any birder or general naturalist visiting Kenya or the adjacent countries this book is invaluable.
