Raptors are the most magnificent of birds. Who is not impressed by the power and strength of an eagle, the agility and aggression of a sparrowhawk, the spectacular speed of a falcon stooping at its prey, or the silent flight of an owl? As top predators, raptors not only play a special role in nature but are also immensely popular among birdwatchers. Raptors are not easy to identify. In spite of a number of excellent field guides to the birds of Southern Africa, most birdwatchers experience difficulties with this group. The Raptor Guide of Southern Africa is a user-friendly identification guide to the diurnal birds of prey and the owls of Southern Africa. Its easy layout, clear photographs, helpful illustrations, readable text and cross-references enable birdwatchers to identify raptors with confidence.
