Oh there will be no birdwatching, just if i see something flying past while we are sunbathing, with a nice cool beer in hand, i may have an intrest to see what it was!!

Hi Matt,
Had the privelige of going to the Maldives Jan 2008, one thing is for sure you wont need a field guide ! Check here for a trip report Surfbirds Maldives trip report (not mine btw) We stayed on one of the northern atols and had 4 species of bird in 10 days. Grey Heron Lesser Crested Tern Asian Koel White-breasted Waterhen
But loads of Fruit Bats.
Loads of Striated Herons around Mali Airport, but thats about as good as it got. Do what i did go scuba diving, stunning marine life.
Have a great trip cheers jason

Has anyone got any recomemdations for field guides for the Maldives?
I presume through searching amazon etc that an Indian Subcontinent guide is my best bet!
But any of you with any info would be great!
Cheers in advance!
