Buy
your Seychelles

Amazon is a very secure
way of buying books over the Internet. Their prices are competitive, and
their delivery service is swift. We say this from personal experience
of buying from Amazon!

- You are not
committed to buying anything simply by clicking on a link. This simply
allows you to view the price and other details about the book before
you decide whether or not to purchase.

Birds

The latest and the best! Every bird that has been recorded in the

Birds
of the Indian Ocean Islands
by
Ian Sinclair et al. 176 pages, publ July 1998.
Covers much more than the Seychelles, but is an excellent field
guide to the region. This was the book that we used on our trip
(Skerret's book was not available). Now reduced to £14.39.
