Passeriformes : Pittas to Buntings

World-famous ornithologist Tom Roberts has included detailed descriptions of over 660 species in this first complete account of the avifauna of Pakistan. Together with volume II, the study provides regional background information about zoogeographic influences upon bird distribution, the main ecological zones, migration patterns, breeding status, and the relationship between birds and man. Beautifully illustrated with over 40 full colour plates, numerous maps, and over 100 black and white drawings, these volumes will be invaluable to serious ornithologists.
