BIRDS OF CAMBODIA
BIRDS OF CAMBODIA
Cambodia Bird Guide Association (CBGA)
twarda okładka
Nowa seria wydawnicza Lynx and BirdLife International Field Guides,
przedstawiająca ptaki Japonii (kolejny tom to Kambodża), później być może kolejne rejony geograficzne.
Przedstawionych zostało tu 629 gatunków; 17 endemitów czy prawie endemitów, 1 introdukowanych, 52 zalatujących sporadycznie.
Cena wydawnictwa dość wysoka, jednak wysokiej klasy ilustracje, nawiązanie elektroniczne do materiałów Ptaków Świata, świetna szata graficzna, powinny wzbudzić zainteresowanie tym przewodnikiem.
Sandwiched principally between its better-known neighbours of Thailand, to the north and west, and Vietnam, to the east, the relatively small and comparatively low-lying country of Cambodia is dominated by the vast combined floodplains of the Tonle Sap (or Great Lake) and lower Mekong River. Unsurprisingly then, its principal attraction for birdwatchers is a suite of exceptionally scarce birds associated with wetlands and grasslands. Spearheading the list are the iconic Giant and White-shouldered Ibises, both of which are Critically Endangered, and a trio of almost equally rare vultures, including the iconic Red-headed Vulture. These rarities are the subject of an ongoing international conservation effort. The supporting cast includes Bengal Florican (also Critically Endangered), Sarus Crane (Vulnerable) and Mekong Wagtail (Near Threatened). Despite boasting just two endemic species, Cambodian Laughingthrush and the very recently described Cambodian Tailorbird, the latter’s discovery in the environs of the country’s capital Phnom Penh perhaps more than anything epitomises the potential to make cutting-edge ornithological findings in this still relatively under-explored nation. This field guide offers the perfect introduction to the country’s varied avifauna.
