A major revision of the first comprehensive field guide to cover the birds of this exciting region, this book will enable birders to identify any species found in any of the countries covered.
Birds of Western Africa (Helm, 2001) was the first single-volume guide to cover all the species of this region, which comprises 23 countries from Senegal and southern Mauritania east to Chad and the Central African Republic, and south to Congo.
This updated edition uses all of the illustrations from Birds of Western Africa, along with a number of new paintings. The book also has updated colour distribution maps for each species placed on the text pages for the first time. On facing pages, concise, authoritative text aids identification to create a conveniently-sized, lightweight field reference covering all 1300 species found in the region.
This handy guide will enable birders to identify any species found in any of the countries covered.

Nik Borrow and Ron Demey are both highly experienced birders who have spent a great deal of time visiting and working in various western African countries. They previously worked together on the Helm Identification Guide Birds of Western Africa, and its spin-off volumes, Birds of Ghana and Birds of Senegal and The Gambia (all published by Helm).
