THE SHELL BIRDWATCHING GUIDE TO THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Finally, Twitchers’ Guide is pleased to announce its new publication 'Birds of Fujairah and the UAE East Coast a Checklist'.

Compiled by co-editor Simon Aspinall, (also the Chairman of the Emirates Bird records Committee), the 32 page booklet, with 21 colour pictures by the compiler and by award-winning wildlife photographers Hanne and Jens Eriksen, provides a full list of the 321 species so far recorded in Fujairah and on the East Coast (out of a national list of around 420), and also gives details of status. Prefaced by an introductory article in both English and Arabic, the checklist has been sponsored by the Union Water and Electricity Company, UWEC, which is currently engaged in constructing a power and desalination plant on the coast north of Fujairah city.

The booklet is second in a series, the first, Birds of Abu Dhabi (both emirate and the island), having been published last year.

Both the Fujairah and Abu Dhabi checklists are available for puchasers in Britain and Europe from:

S. Aspinall,

NR7 OTZ, UK.

Price 3.50 pounds sterling incl. p & p.
