For birders, Sri Lanka is a must-visit.

No trip is complete without a visit to the magnificent Sinharaja rainforest, home to species such as the Green-billed Coucal, Sri Lanka Blue Magpie and Serendib Scops Owl.
This field guide provides full coverage of every species on the Sri Lanka list, including most vagrants, with particular emphasis placed on endemic species and races. Outstanding plates are allied with detailed text that highlights key identification criteria, along with accurate colour maps.
Pocket-friendly yet comprehensive, Birds of Sri Lanka is the definitive identification tool for the visiting birdwatcher and an essential addition to the backpack.

Deepal Warakadoda is Sri Lanka's leading ornithologist. A tour leader, photographer and conservationist, Deepal made his name with his stunning 2002 discovery of the Serendib Scops Owl in Sri Lanka's Sinharaja Forest. He has since written several guides to Sri Lanka's wildlife for Bloomsbury.
Richard Grimmett and Carol and Tim Inskipp are leading experts on the birds of southern Asia. Following many years of research and conservation work, they co-wrote Birds of the Indian Subcontinent (Helm, 1998). This book led to the subsequent publication of several highly acclaimed field guides relating to the birds of the region.
