日本語では残念ながら東アフリカの鳥（というかアフリカの鳥）の図鑑はほとんど出ていません。昨今アフリカへサファリやバードウォッチングに出かける人も増えていますから、これはちょっと残念ではあります。一方現地に着いて現地のガイドさんなどと話をするときには、英語の図鑑でないと、鳥の和名を言ったところでまったく通用しません。というわけで、携帯用には英語の図鑑を持ち歩くことをお奨めします。
この本はまさにフィールドでの使用を考えて作られた本です。現地では数種類の図鑑が手に入りますが、これがもっとも最近のデータに基づき、またイラストも豊富で使い易いと思います。

東アフリカのイラスト図鑑です。１３８８種類をカバー。種毎に識別しやすくまとめられています。東アフリカに鳥を見に行くのでしたら、この図鑑がお勧めです。現地の鳥のガイドもこの図鑑を使っていました。同じ種類でケニアと北タンザニアの本もありますが、詳細や分布地が本の後半にまとめて載っています。こちらの本のほうがイラストが大きく、またイラストの脇に鳥名を書いてあるので見やすいです。分布地などの情報もイラストの見開きページで見られるので便利です。ケニアでの購入はナイロビの大きな本屋さんか、超高級ホテルに限られます。値段も数少ししか違いませんでしたので、あちらで探し回るのでしたら、事前にこちらで買って持って言った方が買いっぱぐれる心配が無いと思いますよ。

Fabulous new East African bird book.
2001/12/29
形式:ハードカバー
After years of having one of the world's worst bird books, East Africa now has two of the best. The Zimmerman/Turner book on Kenya and Northern Tanzania, the work of 30 years, set a new standard of scholarship and illustration. This book draws on that one, but is even better for the tourist and field birder. It covers all of Uganda and Tanzania, as well as Rwanda and Burundi. It is smaller and lighter to carry. And the illustrations and their placement in related groups on the same page are simply outstanding. This is one of the best bird books in the world and will dominate the market for years to come.

Field Guide to the Birds of East Africa is superb!!

I think I have all the guides to the birds of East Africa in the last 30 years, but this most recent by Terry Stevenson and John Fanshawe is certainly the most comprehensive, artistically excellent and usable. Ber van Perlo's Collins Illustrated Checklist "Birds of Eastern Africa" is smaller and lighterweight but no comparison, nor intended to be, in description or plate detail. This new volume, with a 2002(!) publication date has amongst the best plates and abbreviated descriptions, in my opinion, ever published in a comparable volume on birds. Artists John Gale and Brian Small are fabulous (Norman Arlott lacks their skills, but does his subjects justice as well). It is a exceedingly worthwhile complement to Dale Zimmerman's larger format "Birds of Kenya and northern Tanzania" and includes all of Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi as well. Don't miss this book!

a good start - but a thorough review is in order
2002/3/20
形式:ハードカバー
I used this field guide during my recent trip to Kenya and Uganda. Although it is by all means an excellent fieldguide I do have some remarks. A number of the plates contained errors, suggesting the artists didn't see these birds in the field. I realise it is virtually impossible for artists to see all species featured in a book such as this in the field, so that a lot of plates are drawn from skins. It is important however to use skins from the region itself, this may make a lot of difference. We came to the conclusion that for a number of species skins from west Africa were used. Especially the greenbuls had some misleading plates. For a number of species the Kenyan Zimmerman-book is probably better, although those plates lack in other respects.
In addition a number of the maps were incorrect, especially for Uganda.
Still, if you go to the region for birding, make sure to get this book, because it is definitely the best field guide around.
