This authoritative handbook, part of the Helm Identification Guides
series, looks in detail at the world's 170 species of robins and
chats. This large family of small passerines was formerly
considered to be part of the thrush family (Turdidae), but is now
usually treated as a separate family, Muscicapidae, together with
the Old World flycatchers. The vast majority of species are
Eurasian or African, with only a handful of species straying into
the New World or Australasia. The Australian Robins, although
superficially similar, have long been regarded as a separate
family. Robins and chats are a diverse family comprising both
highly colourful and visible species, such as the robin-chats of
Africa, as well as some of the most skulking and elusive birds,
such as the shortwings of Asia. Many chats, such as the well-known
Nightingale, are renowned songsters, and a good number are highly
sought-after by world listers for their extreme rarity or simply
because they are hard to see. This book discusses the
identification and habits of these birds on a species-by-species
basis, bringing together the very latest research with accurate
range maps, more than 600 stunning colour photographs that
illustrate age and racial plumage differences, and 64 superb colour
plates by the internationally renowned artist, Chris Rose. This
authoritative and sumptuous book will be an essential purchase for
all chat enthusiasts, and will become the standard reference on the
subject for many years to come.
