Hello ladies
I'm really interested in the local birds but struggling to find a book about them.

Without having to spend GBP28.00 from Amazon I thought I'd ask the forums to see if anybody can recommend one please?
TIA

The sketches are scientific sketches - they are perfect detailed sketches - ideal for identification - I highly recommend the book. We use it all the time, especially when we are out and about on weekends

Hello ladies I'm really interested in the local birds but struggling to find a book about them. Without having to spend GBP28.00 from Amazon I thought I'd ask the forums to see if anybody can recommend one please? TIA This is the one you want (definitely available in McGrudy's) Birds of the Middle East Second Edition ISBN 9780713676020. It's the premier bird book for this area. http://www.birdwatch.co.uk/channel/reviewitem.asp?c=11&review=2868 In the meantime you might find the following useful: http://uaebirding.smugmug.com/ http://www.uaebirding.com/uaechecklist.html Thanks thats brill and that's the book I actually found on Amazon but if I can get it here I won't have to pay GBP9 delivery and wait for 8-10 days! McGrudys - where is this? Is this it - http://www.magrudy.com/ Yes that's it. Give them a ring/email and see if it's in stock. Otherwise they can order it in. Alternatively you can get it from here which offers free delivery worldwide (it's site that's been recommended by a few EW ladies in the past) http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Birds-Middle-East-Richard-Porter/9780713676020

I bought a great book with fabulous detailed sketches of the birds of the Middle East from Mac Grudys - I think I paid around 125aed. It was expensive but excellent - great bird watchers - soft cover, smallish size, colour sketches, detailed written descriptions and maps. Thanks for that. Does the book have photos of just sketches? Not meaning to be odd but I like to see the real life photo so I can identify! Sketches but photos can sometimes be misleading! The UAE birding site I just gave you hosts about 95% of UAE birds photos.
