It gives information on the geography and climate, a comprehensive list of all the recorded bird species of wild origin, a biogeographicsl analysis of the breeding species and the place of Libya in the Mediterranean and Palearctic-Afrotropical migration systems. The annotated checklist provides data on the species' status, phenology, distribution, habitat, nesting and the origin of migrants and winter visitors. A list of references and a gazetteer close the book."
