Oman is a truly amazing place. In terms of avifauna it lies at the
crossroads between Asian and African species - Arabian desert
species to the north, and a host of Afrotropical species occurring
in the monsoon-swept south that don't occur anywhere else in the
Western Palaearctic. With much of the Middle East now effectively
off-limits to birders, people are increasingly turning to Oman and
its avian riches. And what riches they are - highlights include the
incredible Omani Owl, discovered just a couple of years ago in the
Al Hajar mountains, a suite of regionally scarce wheatears, exotic
pigeons, shearwaters and storm-petrels that can be seen from the
beach, a host of wintering eagles plus impressive residents such as
Verreaux's, the only accessible sites for Arabian Golden-winged
Grosbeak and Yemen Serin ... the list goes on and on. This book is
the perfect guide to this wonderful country's birdlife. Written by
the world's leading expert on Middle Eastern birds, Richard Porter,
along with Oman bird specialist Jen Eriksen, with colour plates
opposite concise species text and accurate maps, it is
indispensible for any naturalist visiting this jewel of the Arabian
peninsula.
