I birded savannas of Southern Africa, I birded India and Central America, and I always missed having a local mammal guide with me. Mammals of Madagascar with the Comoros, the Seychelles, Réunion and Mauritius (Paperback) by Russell A. Yet, those bird guides are hefty. Highly recommended. Mittermeier, Olivier M. Langrand, Don E.

The eastern form breeds as far away as Kazakhstan, through India and the Middle East into Egypt’s Nile Valley, and migrates southwards to East and South Africa. Two populations exist, the westernmost breeds in the western Sahara (e.g. Morocco and Algeria) and migrates to tropical West Africa.
