Birds in China lacks substance,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Birds in China (Paperback)
I had hoped to find a simplified guide (sort of like the U.S. Golden Guides) which would enable me to identify the most common birds I would see on my recent trip to China. I am a fairly good birder in the US, but knew that I would not have the chance to do more than spot really common species in China. This book is watered-down ornithology and of no use as a field guide. The pictures are of poor quality. The "check list of the birds of China" is useless, as it does not identify individual species, rather it simply gives the number of species in families.
The only other guide I could find is very expensive and heavy -- unsuitable for a traveler. I have not been able to locate what I wanted. |
