I find this field guide well thought out, attractive in appearance, user-friendly, authoritative, well-researched and representing a major step forward for ornithology on the island. For the many visiting birders, who may wish to bring only one book, this is all they will need., "This is an impressive book; authoritative and meticulously researched it represents a major advance for Cyprus ornithology and will surely become essential for the ever-increasing number of visiting and resident birders." --Peter Flint, British Birds "A great addition to the Helm Field Guide series and an essential purchase for any birder wanting a compact, light-weight piece of literature to help explore the birding mecca that is Cyprus." -- Ibis "I find this field guide well thought out, attractive in appearance, user-friendly, authoritative, well-researched and representing a major step forward for ornithology on the island.

Birds of Cyprus is not just a good field guide, but a more user-friendly one when compared with a much heavier Collins Bird Guide with its overcrowded plates and hard-to-read font. Checking Birds of Cyprus again, the plates are clear, illustrations large, font simple and readable. So, which one would I pack? The Birds of Cyprus , definitively." -- 10,000 Birds "I find this field guide well thought out, attractive in appearance, user-friendly, authoritative, well-researched and representing a major step forward for ornithology on the island.

Synopsis
With its diverse range of habitats, Cyprus is one of the jewels of European birding, home to a number of endemic taxa and of great strategic importance to the migrant birds of Europe. This is the first comprehensive field guide to the birds of this fascinating and beautiful island. 95 colour plates illustrating more than 400 species, with text and distribution maps on facing pages for quick and easy reference, Concise text covering identification, voice, habitat, distribution and status, Introduction includes detailed information on 68 key birdwatching sites in Cyprus Book jacket., The definitive guide to the birds of Cyprus. Cyprus is a great place for birding, and one of the most popular places for birders to visit in Europe. It holds populations of a number of regional scarcities that are very hard to see elsewhere, plus a number of endemic subspecies, and the two jewels in the crown--two full endemics, Cyprus Wheatear and Cyprus Warbler, the latter of which graces the jacket of this new Helm field guide to the island. Detailed plates are allied to concise identification text, with accurate maps stemming from Colin Richardson's decades-long programme of population-mapping on the island. Together, these elements make this the definitive guide to Cyprus's birds, one that no visitor to this beautiful island can be without.
