From the archetypal Common Kingfisher to the magnificent paradise-kingfishers and peculiar Shovel-billed Kookaburra, kingfishers are among the most familiar and well-loved of all bird families. Alex J. Berryman's Kingfishers of the World is the first definitive photographic guide to these birds, and is the first compendium on their biology to be published for more than 30 years.

Covering all 126 species of this near-cosmopolitan family, the species text summarises identification, distribution, vocalisations, habitat, breeding, taxonomy (including subspecific variation) and conservation status. Information is drawn from the latest available literature, the author's own observations and experience, and the vast volume of data now accessible on citizen science depositories.

The text is accompanied by a series of high-quality photographs illustrating all extant species, the vast majority of plumages and races and interesting behavioural observations. Accurate range maps complete the coverage. Informative and photo-rich, Kingfishers of the World represents the ultimate guide to a beautiful and diverse group beloved by all birders.
