Birds of the Czech Republic

Rating:
Summary: vast amount of data
Review: Although I am not traveling to the Czech Republic, I purchased Kren's book Birds of the Czech Republic. This book provides vast amount of data on breeding and winter densities previously unavailable from this central European country. Also valuable data on numbers of breeding birds during the past 20 years. Juan, ornithologists

Summary: The first book on birds of the Czech Republic in english
Review: I recommend this book to everyone going to see birds in my country. It provides accurate information on distribution, status and densities of the 394 species recorded in the Czech Republic. It describes in detail all of the important bird areas and best birdwatching sites in the country. According to a recent catalogue (April-September 2001) it is one of the best-selling titles at NHBS (UK). Jan, zoologist
