Description

Discover the jewels of the tropical Old World undergrowth with this comprehensive second edition guide from Helm. This book provides a detailed look at some of the most beautiful and sought-after birds on the planet, including pittas, broadbills, and asities. These species inhabit the tropical and subtropical forests of the Old World, often remaining elusive due to their secretive habits. For birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts, understanding these birds presents a unique challenge. Pittas, for example, are medium-sized, insectivorous, and terrestrial birds that behave much like thrushes. Because they are often solitary and live in dark forest environments, they have a reputation for being difficult to spot. This guide helps you navigate the complexities of identifying these brilliantly coloured species across their habitats from Asia through the Old World. Whether you are a serious ornithologist or a hobbyist, this guide serves as an essential resource for studying these remarkable tropical birds.

Key Features

Comprehensive coverage of pittas, broadbills, and asities found in tropical and subtropical forests.

Detailed information on the 52 species of pitta and their specific habitats.

Helpful insights into the secretive and solitary behaviors of these elusive tropical birds.

Expert guidance for identifying brilliantly coloured species in dark forest environments.

Updated second edition content from the trusted Helm Identification Guides series.
