The ultimate field guide to the birds of Ghana.

With a huge 773 species on its national list, including big-hitters like Egyptian Plover, Rufous Fishing Owl, Fire-bellied Woodpecker, and western Africa's most sought-after bird, Yellow-headed Picathartes, Ghana is rapidly becoming one of Africa's foremost birding destinations, and this is the definitive field guide to the country.

Also covering neighbouring Togo, Birds of Ghana includes details of all residents, migrants and known vagrants. More than 150 stunning colour plates depict every species and comprehensively cover all the distinct plumages and subspecies likely to be encountered. Concise species accounts describe key identification features, status, range, habitat and voice. These are accompanied by accurate distribution maps for each species, a significant advance on previous guides to the region.

Birds of Ghana is the ultimate reference to the birds of this rich and varied corner of Africa.
