Publisher's Synopsis
Almost 1 000 bird species occur in southern Africa - nearly 10 per cent of the world's bird population. Pocket Guide to Birds of Southern Africa features some 500 of these in this compact, pocket-sized guide, with an emphasis on birds that are most conspicuous and most commonly seen. Written by South Africa's top birding author, this book will prove invaluable in identifying birds, whether in the garden or on outings into wilderness areas.
