Description

Birds of Senegal and The Gambia is an authoritative guide to the region's rich avifauna. With over 700 regularly occurring species, this West African birdwatching hotspot offers a unique opportunity for birders to spot many Western Palearctic migrants from September to April, as well as highly sought-after resident birds like the Egyptian Plover. The guide covers all species in Senegal and The Gambia, including details of residents, migrants, and known vagrants. Almost 150 stunning colour plates depict every species, providing comprehensive coverage of distinct plumages and subspecies likely to be encountered. Concise species accounts describe key identification features, status, range, habitat, and voice, accompanied by accurate distribution maps. This compact guide is an essential companion for any birder visiting this ornithologically rich region of western Africa, where the Saloum delta's huge roost of tens of thousands of African Swallow-tailed Kites is one of the world's top birding spectacles.
