Some of my family are off on a botanical tour to Kerala in October and want to take a good field guide to the birds with them.
There seem to be (at least) four candidates.
The Collins Birds of India -Arlott

Which is also available in a Kindle format - anyone have any experience of this?
Helm's Birds of Southern India - Grimmet et al.

Any advice would be most welcome.
They're also interested in any apps (particularly for calls) which are recommended.
