Re  Field Guide for Vanuatu

Hi Wendy,

I used the Birds of Melanesia for trips to both New Caledonia 2 years ago and Vanuatu this year. It usefully divides the passerine section in to the different island groups. This makes the guide bigger (447 pages) due to repetition but still a useful feature. It gives detailed notes on range and habitats for island endemics . I've not seen the volume suggested by John Harris.

I didn't use a guide either. I find checking out eBird bar charts for various locations useful.

Regards

Mark Stanley

Hi Wendy,
there is a guide called The Birds of the Solomons, Vanuatu and New
Caledonia by Doughty, Day and Plant.

I have birded there but didn't have a guide.

Cheers

John

We are heading off to Vanuatu in June.  Is there a field guide that is
recommended?
Also, can anyone recommend any local guides for day trips?  We are visiting
Efate, Tanna and Espiritu Santo Islands.
