Guía De Las Aves De España Y Europa John Gooders; Stuart Keith Guía de identificación mediante fotografías en color. Se han dispuesto todas la láminas en una sección y se han agrupado las aves según su tamaño, forma y color, que son las caracteristicas que se pueden observar en el campo y permiten una identificacion facil y rapida. En otra seccion posterior se hallan las descripciones de especies y familias. Las aves han sido fotografiadas en sus habitats naturales. En general las ilustraciones muestran a los machos adultos con el plumaje de cria, ya que ellos son los que estan mas vivamente coloreados, y los mas faciles de identificar.

Fry, C. HilaryBy far the most authoritative and comprehensive work ever published on the birds of Africa. The Editors and artists have worked closely with the 16 authors of this volume--all internationally acknowledged experts on their bird families--to produce encyclopaedic accounts of each species.This volume completes the non-passerines, dealing with all species occurring on the continent--residents and visitors alike--in the following families: parrots, turacos, cuckoos, owls, nightjars, swifts, colies, kingfishers and their allies, and woodpeckers and their allies. All are illustrated, and all known biological information is included. The passerines (songbirds) will be covered in four forthcoming volumes, already in preparation.
