This unique and spectacular handbook is the most complete and comprehensive photographic guide to the passerines of the Western Palearctic. Written by two of the world's most respected ornithologists, Hadoram Shirihai and Lars Svensson, the Handbook of Western Palearctic Birds contains the most up-to-date information available on bird identification covering all aspects of plumage, moult, aging and sexing, with sections on voice and other identification criteria, and detailed taxonomic notes.

The handbook is divided into two volumes, with the first covering larks, hirundines, pipits and wagtails, bulbuls, accentors, robins, chats, wheatears, thrushes, prinias and cisticolas, and warblers, and the second covering flycatchers, reedlings, tits, nuthatches, orioles and sunbirds, shrikes, corvids, finches, and buntings, along with extreme vagrants.

The exceptional text is backed up by a stunning collection of more than 4,000 photographs, featuring a comprehensive range of plumages that illustrate every race and morph of each species in the region.

This stunning handbook will be the definitive reference for the region for years to come--no birder's shelf will be complete without it.

Hadoram Shirihai is a leading expert on field identification. His pioneering work on raptor migration through the key watchpoints of the Middle East has been ongoing for more than twenty years. More recently his research interests have included passerine migration, and the identification and distribution of seabirds; in 2007 Shirihai was responsible for the rediscovery of Beck's Petrel, one of the zoological highlights of the 21st century. His many titles include Sylvia Warblers, A Complete Guide to Antarctic Wildlife (Helm) and Whales, Dolphins and Seals (A&C Black).

Lars Svensson is Europe's foremost ornithologist. He is the author of the pivotal Identification Guide to European Passerines which is still the essential reference for bird ringers across the region, while his other works have included senior authorship of the highly acclaimed Collins Bird Guide (HarperCollins) and numerous identification papers.
