This first-ever field guide to the birds of Bangladesh does full justice to a country which packs a phenomenal avifauna into one of the most densely populated countries on Earth.

I suspect that for many purchasing this book, Bangladesh will be a completely new country to visit. In theory it has no endemic bird species, but actually, there is nowhere else in the world where people are currently seeing Masked Finfoot <i>Heliopais personatus</i>, so the focus on Bangladesh is likely to increase over the coming years and let’s hope that the conservation authorities can protect these birds.
