The Galapagos Islands are captured in this highly illustrated bird book which describes the islands, the wildlife, habitats and breeding strategies of the archipelago's birds. Illustrator Hermann Heinzel and photographer Barnaby Hall made their birdwatching expedition to the Galápagos Islands in the mid 1990s and this book, first published in 2000, is the record of their tour. Part one describes the range of habitats and wildlife on the islands; part two is a detailed field guide to the birds that they encountered, illustrated with hundreds of sketches, paintings and photographs; finally there is a checklist of all Galápagos bird species observed.Protected jacket shows signs of ageing and wear but is in quite good condition.
