This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the wide variety of birdlife to be found in the Himalayan mountains bordering Pakistan, India and Nepal. Over 250 native species are included in the book and each description is supported by a colour photograph taken, where possible, in the bird's natural Himalayan habitat. As well as the common species likely to be encountered, the guide also focuses on some of the rarer, and in some cases highly endangered, species such as the black-necked crane. Thumbnail silhouettes, identifying visually the different family groups, are shown on the species pages of the guide. These aim to lead the reader quickly to the relevant section of the book. In the introduction, information can also be found on the biology and behaviour of the birds.
