About the Book

Birds of Bangladesh – the definitive field guide to Bangladesh's rich avifauna.

Despite being one of the most densely populated countries on Earth, Bangladesh boasts a diverse range of natural habitats, including forests, wetlands and grasslands, and supports a wide range of species including a number of sought-after regional specialities, such as Masked Finfoot and Lesser Florican,

This book covers all 705 species that occur in Bangladesh, including vagrants. It includes 103 superb colour plates, with text on facing pages for quick and easy reference, as well as concise species accounts describe key identification features, voice, habitats, distribution and status.

Birds of Bangladesh is an essential field companion for any birdwatcher visiting or living in this fascinating and beautiful country.

About the Author :

Richard Grimmett and Tim Inskipp are ornithologists and conservationists, and experts on the avifauna of the Indian subcontinent. They have written or co-authored many field guides for Helm over the course of more than thirty years.

Paul Thompson is a birder and tour leader. Now based in the UK, he was formerly resident in Dhaka, Bangladesh, where he undertook research and development projects related to natural resource management, floodplains and conservation. Paul became an expert on the country’s birds, helped establish Bangladesh’s first community managed wetland bird sanctuary, and currently advises Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bangladesh programme.



Review :
This first-ever field guide to the birds of Bangladesh does full justice to a country which packs a phenomenal avifauna into one of the most densely populated countries on Earth. I suspect that for many purchasing this book, Bangladesh will be a completely new country to visit. In theory it has no endemic bird species, but actually, there is nowhere else in the world where people are currently seeing Masked Finfoot Heliopais personatus, so the focus on Bangladesh is likely to increase over the coming years and let’s hope that the conservation authorities can protect these birds.
