The text for each species highlights the diagnostic feature or combination of features that will enable the birdwatcher to most easily identify the bird. Clear colour photographs have been chosen to illustrate the guide. For those species that are sexually dimorphic, have both breeding and non-breeding plumage, or in which the juvenile plumage differs markedly from that of the adult, more than one photograph has been included. Thumbnail silhouettes aid the reader in quickly locating the correct group of birds, and for each species account a map shows the bird's distribution.

This pocket-size guide is packed with useful information, tips and recommendations, accompanied by colour photographs, charts and maps for the first time traveller who wants to experience the major highlights that Kenya has to offer. It provides visitors with a handy introduction to Kenya by concisely highlighting the region's must see areas in a practical and user-friendly format, thus encouraging the tourist to make the most of his or her available time. All the information you need to get around an unfamiliar region is compacted into useful and practical At-a-Glance sections at the end of each chapter.
