This book will tell you all you need to know about exactly where and how to find the best birds of north Goa - that’s the area north of the Zuari river that most birdwatchers concentrate on.

Dave Gosney writes:

‘It’s now over 14 years since Peter Harris published his ‘Independant Birder’s Guide to Goa’ and much has changed since then. In particular there has been an explosion of information available on trip reports on the internet but you could literally spend days going through this material , trying to make sense of it all. I’ve therefore written this guide, based mostly on my visits in 2008 and 2009, which updates this information and puts it all in one place, in a format you can easily take with you’
