India Birds: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Species (Nature Observation International)

Took this on a trip to Laos and Burma. Didn’t have the weight allowance to carry heavy bird book so this plus a phone app worked well for helping ID birds I saw along the way and on a couple of birding day trips.

great pocket guide for quick reference if weight and space is the concern. It was very useful during my last trip to India.

As we have yet to visit India to use it I can't give it a complete review. I bought it for field use rather than the 3-pound Princeton tome on the birds,of,India

I'm a super light packer, so decided to take this and African Wildlife pocket guide instead of a heavy wildlife book. Guides always have one or more good animal books, so decided I didn't need one. Haven't been on the trip yet, but this looks very handy and complete.

Small enough to tuck into a pocket or tote bag, this guide will be most helpful in making quick identifications of India's bird life.

I was looking for a way to identify common species and this one delivered. I'll let you know how many I see.

Bought these for a trip coming up to botswana and they are well made and easy to ready quickly!

Great! I have used this all over Africa and it is a very quick and visual way to identify birds while on safari or on nature hikes.

Excellent book, on our last trip to South Africa I bought a similar book and it was perfect. This is for our India trip. The book is useful, easy to handle and waterproof. Not exhaustive but useful

No es una guía tradicional si no un simple desplegable. Pero incluso para este formato me parece muy pobre. Tengo otros desplegables con información de aves con mucha más información y más útiles que este, en que vienen muy pocos pájaros para poder ser representativo de un continente entero. No lo recomiendo.

I like the size and weight of the pocket guide Southeast Asia Birds, and it's going to be a handy 'general' resource out in the field for an upcoming trip to the region. The major issue I have is with the colour representations of some species, with some notable 'clangers'. The Red Junglefowl is shown with red legs instead of blue-grey legs and the breast is dark blue rather than green. The white-bellied sea eagle is shown with grey plumage when it actually has brown. These and other examples of colour inaccuracies may seem like trivial complaints, however when you're unfamiliar with the fauna in a region, guides like these can be the difference between accurate identification and mistakes.

Its for newbies and amateurs in birdingPrize becomes too high due to transport charges
