Field Guide for Birds of North India

Hi all. Any ideas for the above? A fairly lightweight paperback if possible. I plan to purchase the Helm Field Guide to Birds of Sri Lanka also. We’ll be there in the new year including Delhi, Keoladeo NP, Bund Baretha Wetlands & Ranthambore NP, so lots of migratory birds.

Cheers, Sue

Unusual Woodswallow nest site.

A bit featuring the Sonoran desert in SW USA and him explaining how the saguaro cactus is able to absorb a lot of water. During that . . . → Read More: Attenborough got the wrong bird
