There is a fantastic selection of Sahel specialities that are more easily seen here than anywhere else. Senegal has become a reliable locality for Golden Nightjar, Quail-plover and Cricket Warbler, and the near-endemic Mali Firefinch occurs in the southeast of the country. Birdwatchers in this region can also find Savile's Bustard, Adamawa Turtle Dove, Little Grey Woodpecker, Yellow Penduline Tit, Sudan Golden Sparrow and Exclamatory Paradise Whydah, while the Saloum delta's huge roost of tens of thousands of African Swallow-tailed Kites is one of the world's top birding spectacles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis authoritative guide covers all species in the two countries, including details of all residents, migrants and known vagrants. Almost 150 stunning colour plates depict every species, comprehensively covering all the distinct plumages and subspecies likely to be encountered. Concise species accounts describe key identification features, status, range, habitat and voice, accompanied by accurate distribution maps. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis compact guide is an essential companion for any birder visiting this ornithologically rich slice of western Africa.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNik Borrow \u003c\/b\u003estudied painting at Wimbledon School of Art and is responsible for the illustrations and maps in this book.
