<p>Birds of the Indian Ocean Islands is a comprehensive<br><br>guide to the bird life of Madagascar, the Seychelles, the<br><br>Comoros, and the Mascarenes – an area that boasts high<br><br>levels of endemism. This new, expanded edition is fully<br><br>updated to reflect taxonomic changes, and now describes<br><br>and illustrates 502 species. The species accounts cover the<br><br>birds’ appearance, basic behaviour, preferred habitats,<br><br>geographical distribution and IUCN threat status. The text<br><br>is complemented by newly designed plates with labels<br><br>pinpointing key differentiating features. The introduction<br><br>includes maps for each island, lists the region’s 211 endemic<br><br>species, and gives pointers on where to go bird-watching.</p>
