Product Description

Review

"This is without doubt a monumental publication" "Guy Kirwan and his team are to be congratulated on a thorough, professional publication that will without doubt be the essential reference for Turkish birdlife" BirdGuides.com February 2009 "this book is a great achievement in the study of birds of the Middle East" Falcon Research Group, Spring 2009


Product Description

Turkey is a popular destination for birders and tourists, and although there has been much published on its birds over the past 40 years, there has never been a comprehensive avifauna. The Birds of Turkey redresses this. It contains a detailed account of every species on the Turkish list, with a full breakdown of records and status, distribution in Turkey, and taxonomy. There are also authoritative introductory chapters on geography, climate, habitats, history of ornithology and conservation.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Birdss of Turkey (Helm Field Guides), 17 Aug 2009
I find the Helm Field Guides to Birds are normally exemplary with excellent information on bird identification and where to find them in a particular location together with other valuable detail. But the guide on The Birds of Turkey is an enormous disappointment. In particular, and most disappiontingly, it contains very few plates of birds: there are in fact just a handful of plates from which birds can be identified. Withour such critical information it is wrong and misleading to call this book a field guide - it is anything but.... If it is possible to give this a book a zero rating I would strongly recommend such a rating applies to this book. Call it somethimg else, since it lacks everything normally associated with a Field Guide. Helms let itself down this time: a waste of money. davidbirder

5.0 out of 5 stars More than excellent, 25 Oct 2009
A Kid's Review
I was think this book is a book with low quality and not photographs, but when I buy this book, I see it's a beatiful reference for Turkey. 463 species that admitted into Turkish list are listed, with usually three paragraphs, first paragraph is about subspecies and taxonomy, second is about distribution and third is (only found in breeding birds) about breeding of species. There are two paragraphs about vagrants, one with subspecies and other with records. Most of the vagrants recorded ten or less times. There are distribution maps for all species (including vagrants). Pale gray=winter, dark gray=breeding, almost black=resident,barred marks=passage, black dots=vagrancy reports (also means breeding sites and overwintering sites for some uncommon birds). There are photographs of more than 50 species, also photograph of important bird areas in Turkey too. Species that not accepted to Turkish list is listed in main section of book with orders, there is a [ mark before their common names and after latin names. There are two paragraphs for probable species, one about subspecies and other about why it is not accepted onto Turkish list. There arte Turkish names of all species are writed below the common name. There is a very long introduction about fauna and flora in Turkey, bird species and accounts and how to use this book (near 40 pages!). So, it's a very good guide. Superb!
