5.0 out of 5 stars
A shirt pocket must for birders in East Africa.
This book is authoritative, small, inexpensive, and beautifully illustrated with photos taken by the author. Dave Richards is a superb photographer, and he has chosen those photos which best depict salient features of the birds. Not infrequently, he has more than one picture per species (females, flight, etc.), and he covers 265 species that you are likely to see...

A Photographic Guide to Birds of East Africa
The pictures are beautiful but the book is by no means comprehensive and I found I had to buy additional books when birding in Ethiopia. Could be retitled "Common Birds of Kenya."

This book is authoritative, small, inexpensive, and beautifully illustrated with photos taken by the author. Dave Richards is a superb photographer, and he has chosen those photos which best depict salient features of the birds. Not infrequently, he has more than one picture per species (females, flight, etc.), and he covers 265 species that you are likely to see. Each species description includes color photo(s), a distribution map, and a thumbnail sketch which is not a 'canned' presentation and is a delight to read.

Very helpful. The photographs are clean. We only encountered one bird that was not in this book. It is not every bird in the region but for its size I would buy it again.
