He has a particular interest in the Afrotropics and has been birding in sub-Saharan Africa since 1987, principally leading birding tours. He is currently a member of the East African Rarities Committee, a keen photographer and lives in Norfolk, England. Ron Demey is a freelance ornithologist who has lived and worked in several West African countries for many years. During this time he has travelled extensively in the region, amassing a considerable knowledge of its avifauna. He has worked on several African projects for BirdLife International, participated in Rapid Assessment Program expeditions organised by Conservation International, and carried out various surveys in the Afrotropics.

The superb illustrations by Nik Borrow are really crisp ... Ron Demey has completely overhauled the text, and the maps have been revised to reflect increased knowledge of distribution. This is an excellent field guide. * Birdwatch *
