I am also author of the following 'Where to watch' books which were published between 1994 and 2001. These were planned to cover the world but there is one missing. The seventh book, Where to watch birds in North America, would have completed the series but despite researching and writing the book, it was, to cut a long story short and much to my dismay, never published.
If you don’t know which continent or which country/countries to visit why not take a look at one or all of the six books. They are all many years old of course, but they still provide a starting point, an overview and a guiding light to the best birds and the best places to look for them in each region, and could save hours of searching for similar information on the internet. However, it is important to check more up-to-date sources for sites which have been opened up, sites and species which have been discovered, lodges that have been built etc. since they were published.
Here are some Reviews (pdf 236KB) and here is another ... of a sort ...
‘Just like British birding, the temptation to ‘follow the news’ when going global is all too great ... How about taking on an extreme rarity-finding challenge? ... The first steps are easy: throw away the Lonely Planet, and Wheatley for that matter ...’
Punkbirder, Birdwatch magazine, 2010.
