This spectacular new edition of Birds of Ghana is the ultimate reference to the birds of this rich and varied corner of Africa. Now fully revised and expanded, this guide is essential for researchers, birders and conservationists alike.
This authoritative book covers all 773 species recorded in Ghana and neighbouring Togo, including details of all residents, migrants and known vagrants. Over 150 stunning colour plates depict every species and also comprehensively cover all the distinct plumages and subspecies likely to be encountered. Concise species accounts describe key identification features, status, range, habitat and voice with fully updated distribution maps for each species.

He has a particular interest in the Afrotropics and has been birding in sub-Saharan Africa since 1987, principally leading birding tours, during which time he has travelled extensively throughout the continent. He is currently a member of the East African Rarities Committee, a keen photographer and lives in Norfolk, England. Ron Demey is a freelance ornithologist who has lived and worked in several West African countries. He has travelled extensively in the region, amassing a considerable knowledge of its avifauna. Ron has worked on several African projects for BirdLife International, participated in Rapid Assessment Program expeditions organised by Conservation International, and carried out various surveys in the Afrotropics. He is currently editor of the Bulletin of the African Bird Club.
