Birds of the Indian Subcontinent

Good book for bird lovers

An excellent and exhaustive compilation of information on birds of Indian subcontinent. Not a bird for beginners but for those who are more interested and committed definitely worth it's value in gold. It has very detailed coloured drawings ( no pictures) explaining the subtle differences between species, sexes and geographical distribution. A must-have for identification and research. If a bird exists it has to be in this book!! With all taxonomic names and classifications

This book is one for Ornithologists as well as causal bird watcher. I already have one copy and ought again to gift it to budding bird watcher. It is also a great book for gifting to a nature lover. We have 2000 odd species of birds in Indian subcontinent. Printing is excellent and the paper quality is superlative. One can go for it instead of spending on Chocolates and gadgets on birthdays

Information is good but font size needs to be a little large.

if you're a serious birdwatcher and enjoys identifying bird species you saw then this could provide great help. This is arguably the best field guide of Indian Birds and most of the things in this book displays of great quality

Surely a great book for bird enthusiasts and bird watchers. It's a quite thick book with lots of Indian birds. It contains information about many birds individually with texts and amazing colored pictures. Surely a must buy 💯💯💯

I had an Oxford Pocket Guide to the Birds of the INDIAN Subcontinent by RICHARD GRIMMETT, CAROL INSKIPP, TIM INSKIPP. I used to carry it during my birding outings for last many years. Then recently one of my birding friend Showed me this HELM FIELD GUIDES - Birds of Indian Subcontinent by same Authors. When I saw this book, I noticed two very important qualities, 1. The plates giving pictures of birds and corresponding Maps were side by side unlike in the Oxford Pocket. Guide, in which the Maps were located some Where else and you have to turn many pages to see the map. This change has helped me a lot. 2. I find the colours of Bird pictures in this book more natural compared to the bird colours in earlier Oxford Pocket Guide. In view of above two factors, I immediately bought this book.

Good delivery

IT IS A VERY COMPREHENSIVE FIELDGUIDE FOR EVERY BIRDER, A NOVICE OR A PRO. THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE UPTO THE MARK AND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE BIRDS IN THE OPPOSITE FACE ARE TO THE POINT AND HELP IN IDENTIFYING THE BIRDS. ALSO THERE ARE A LOT OF PAGES DEDICATED TO MANY ASPECTS OF BIRDS AND BIRDING WHICH MAKE THIS BOOK A COMPLETE PACKAGE. This e-book is supposed to come with recorded bird calls, which we have not been able to use, as we are clueless as how to use it. Hope Amazon helps us in this regard.

Incontestablement, c'est un très beau guide de terrain d'un format intéressant, pas trop lourd, très esthétique dans sa conception. Je situe la qualité du travail graphique de "bon à excellent", suivant les illustrateurs, mais en général les oiseaux sans très bien représentés, même ceux que je préfère le moins, quand aux autres c'est une véritable réussite. Le couleurs sont magnifiquement rendues et les oiseaux indiens sont flamboyants dans leurs tons rouge, jaune, saphir, turquoise ou vert acide. Aucun problème pour reconnaître les oiseaux sur le terrain, ils sont très bien reproduits dans les détails. Chaque oiseau bénéficie d'une description précise ainsi que de son habitat et d'une carte situant son aire de répartition. Et pour moi, qui suis une collectionneuse de guides ornithologiques, passionnée par les oiseaux, ancienne accompagnatrice de terrain, c'est un véritable enchantement. Je recommande ce livre à tous les amoureux des oiseaux.
