A small (103 × 138 mm, W × H) guide that will fit in virtually every pocket containing colour photos of birds commonly seen in India. Each photo gives the English vernacular name. Species are ordered taxonomically. The book does not include species descriptions or maps.
"It is a lovely book. It covers most of the birds that are seen in north and central india. It is very handy and easy to carry in the field and will be useful for all birders"
– Belinda Wright, founder member of WWF India
