Sappi Birds of South Africa

A field guide that changes the face of bird watching in South Africa. The field guide features: • interesting text that does not merely describe what can be seen in the photographs, but also offers a wealth of extraordinary facts. • new updated distribution maps. • informative icons: species can quickly be compared with the help of icons illustrating normal habitat, nest position, relative size and social behaviour. • more than 800 quality full colour photographs by renowned photographers. • efficient grouping: bird species are grouped together according to four behaviour groups: Waterbirds, Raptors, Veld Landscape and Bush Landscape birds.
