Stonechats

This book covers the fourteen members of the genus Saxicola - the stonechats and bushchats. This passerine group is distributed throughout the Old World, and includes some familiar and widespread species as well as island endemics and extreme rarities. These charismatic birds are eye-catching in both appearance and behaviour, but the simple identification of some species is not straightforward, providing birders with some tough challenges.

This book is the first to provide a comprehensive treatment of this genus. AN impressive collection of over 100 photographs is accompanied by an exceptionally beautiful set of 14 colour plates.
