Nik Borrow studied painting at Wimbledon School of Art
and is responsible for the illustrations and maps in this book. He
has a particular interest in the Afrotropics and has been birding
in sub-Saharan Africa since 1987, principally leading birding
tours.
Ron Demey is a freelance ornithologist who has lived and
worked in several West African countries for many years. During
this time he has travelled extensively in the region, amassing a
considerable knowledge of its avifauna. Ron is currently editor of
Bulletin of the African Bird Club.
One of the major advantages of this guide … is the quality of the
maps. These have been thoroughly revised and have benefited from a
large amount of recent fieldwork across the country by local
ornithologists and visiting birders alike. For this reason alone,
anyone visiting Ghana would be well advised to buy this second
edition.
*Bulletin of the African Bird Club*
The ultimate field guide if you are heading to this intriguing part
of Western Africa.
*Bird Watching*
Long awaited and very welcome, this field guide is indispensable
... another effective contribution from Helm, one that will count
among the West African birder’s collection of important books.
