A Naturalist's Guide to the Birds of China: Southeast China, including Shanghai

Part of a series of 'Naturalist's Guides' this book is aimed at the casual birdwatcher rather than the avid world lister. Based on photographs, this slim volume does not have the depth of a more traditional field guide (such as Helm's Birds of East Asia) but then it doesn't have the physical weight either. A nice touch is the inclusion of the Chinese name for each bird.
