Description
This new field guide is based on the authors' groundbreaking Birds of the Indian Subcontinent (1998) and covers all the bird species found in India, Pakistian, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and the Maldives. The plates face the descriptions and maps for quick at-a-glance reference. Many of the plates have been repainted for this edition and a number of new species added. This guide also provides tables, summarising identification features of particularly difficult groups such as nightjars, warblers and rosefinches.

Very good
This book is the second edition of the "Pocket Guide to the Birds of the Indian Subcontinent" and not the old handbook. Very nicely compiled and improved over the earlier edition. Major and useful improvements being, the text and distribution maps are placed opposite to the plates & the maps have been revised. It is almost a combo of the leading field guides for the subcontinent.
There are 226 plates. Most families are put on many plates with not more than 6-7 species on a single plate owing ...

Definitive Buy for Birders!
For amateur birders, the new handbook edition of Grimmett, Inskipp and Inskipp is going to be a definitive companion to identifying birds in the field. Weighing slightly more than its predecessor,two things that make the tome a winner among the current crop of field guides to Indian birds is the replacement of the somber grey backgrounds with white backgrounds on the plates, bringing the identifying characteristics of the birds to the fore, and well, making the illustrations quite a feast for...

Great Field Guide
This is one of the awesomest field guide that is available on birds of India. Well organized information, detailed information on each species, great sketches by Inskipp et al., and well updated distribution maps...the combination makes it a great field guide. Some taxonomic changes have been made in the latest edition (2011) but you don't have to worry about it. The book covers color morphs and sexually dimorphic birds in the nicest possible ways.
Its a great buy.

Birds of the Indian Subcontinent
After purchasing a few similar books on this topic, I found this to be the most comprehensive- All 1295 Birds and all plates are in color. Well categorized and laid out. Its better than the others because of its evenly spread plates,and the trick being you can flip thru pages to stop at a page on which color, size or shape resembles what you have seen. From Ducks to owls this book as been a pleasure to kid and adults. It also makes a wonderful gift and more so to visitors to the subcontinent ...

Fabulous!
Extremely good book. You can easily trace the birds through the glossary. Illustrations are really good and I am able to identify the different birds. Paper quality is very very good and the book is quite heavy because of the glossy pages.
Bird lovers can buy it without hesitation
