Recenzii
Concise text for each species includes identification, similar species, voice, habitats and behaviour, status and distribution. This guide is an essential companion for anyone visiting these beautiful islands.
...excellent and tempting guide which should be one of the items included in the luggage of the biologically curious visitor to the Cayman Islands.
...outstanding...I cannot imagine a better book to take if one is visiting the Cayman Islands to go birding. The photographs are some of the best I've ever seen, perfectly complemented by the informative text
...thorough...The photographs are superb. ...I would certainly recommend it.
