# 1980 1st edition. Square 4to (242 x 266mm). Ppxiv,160. Colour photographs throughout, maps, tables. Navy blue cloth, spine titled in gilt.

# "The aim of this book is to describe and illustrate with photographs as many of the birds present in the Arabian peninsula as possible." All birds that swim (with the exception of moorhens and coots) have been excluded, which eliminates gulls, grebes, ducks, cormorants, phalaropes etc. One of the first books to fill the gap of information on birds in the Middle East, with some good photographs. With a foreword by HRH the Duke of Edinburgh.
