This review is from: Birds of the
Indian Subcontinent: A Field Guide (Bombay Natural History Society) (Hardcover)
This looks more like a very basic reference work dressed up as a field
guide, rather than a field guide proper. It covers 1,351 species with very
short presentations and even smaller illustrations. Apparently, the work is
based on a previous field guide, regarded as a classic, the so-called
“Pictorial Guide” by Salim Ali and Dillon Ripley. The book covers India,
Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh and the Maldives. I've never
tracked songbirds in Mother India, but somehow, I suspect that avid birders
should invest in another work…
