10,000 Birds

For a land that can lay claim to an abundance of such wonderful native wildlife, it’s peculiar that the national symbolism of Scotland is so populated by mythological creatures.

Mammals of South Asia (Lynx Edicions)

10,000 Birds

On that first trip, I even saw some of the last 500 (Asiatic) Lions ! monkeys, deer, gazelles, etc.). Most mammal guides aimed at wildlife watchers (and not scientists) tend to cover small and cryptic species as a group only, not going to a species level. I clearly needed a mammal book.
