Terry Stephenson and John Fanshawe are two names synonymous with East African ornithology. Their first book together, the first edition of this title, was published in 2002 and became an instant field-guide classic. Terry Stevenson has lived in Kenya since 1977. He is one of Africa’s foremost bird tour guides, leading tours throughout Africa, India and Eastern Europe. Privately he has travelled extensively, birding in north and south America, Europe, Asia, Australia and to Antarctica. Together with John Fanshawe and Andy Roberts, Terry holds the World Big Day record for the number of birds seen in 24 hours – 330 species on 30 November 1986 – a record that still stands today! He is a co-author of the acclaimed Birds of East Africa, and is member of the East African Rarities Committee. John Fanshawe is an author and environmentalist. He has worked on bird and biodiversity conservation in East Africa since 1981, primarily for the global partnership, BirdLife International. After research on the birds of Arabuko-Sokoke Forest in coastal Kenya, he worked on conservation and development projects there, and went on to co-ordinate BirdLife’s global policy and advocacy programmes. With a particular interest in the role of the arts in the environment movement, he co-founded the group New Networks for Nature in 2009, and curates a programme of arts and science collaborations for the Cambridge Conservation Initiative.
As soon as you open the book, you'll realise that the standard of artwork is exceptional. The text is also of an unusually high standard … If you are planning a trip to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda or Burundi this is now unquestionably the most valuable book you can buy. And if you aren't yet planning a trip there this is the perfect book to get you dreaming. * Birdguides * Superficially it looks like many other second editions but a closer look shows that this is a major revamp and updating … Overall this feels like a new book, and as such travellers to East Africa will need to get it. * BTO News * This second edition of a guide initially published in 2004 is a hefty tome, hardly a surprise when it covers 1448 resident birds, migrants and vagrants. The illustrators are to be commended not only for the superb quality of the drawings, these including breeding and juvenile plumage where necessary, but for surviving the monumental task of producing them. ... Excellent and thoroughly recommended. * Ibis * Will undoubtedly become the field guide of choice for most birders visiting Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda or Burundi, and will also prove useful in adjacent countries ... this really is an excellent guide, significantly different from the first edition and certainly invaluable on your next visit to East Africa. * Frank Lambert, African Bird Club Bulletin * This is a fantastic field guide with both the text and illustrations to a very high standard … I am in awe of the amount of work that must have gone into producing such a superb field guide. * Gehan de Silva Wijeyeratne, NHBS * The avifaunal assemblage of East Africa is amongst the most diverse and spectacular in the world. This field guide does this treasure-house full justice and no birder visiting the region, or interested in its birdlife, should be without this volume, which has benefited materially from this revision. * Association of Field Ornithologists * A fine guide that benefits immeasurably from the combined East African experience of Terry Stevenson and John Fanshawe … When you are able to board a plane for East Africa this is the guide you will want to take with you. * Travels with Birds *
