This photographic field guide to Southern African birds comprises the biggest and most comprehensive collection of photographs of the region's birds in one volume. It describes and illustrates all 958 bird species found in southern Africa, and an additional 17 species recorded from the Southern Ocean, associated islands and Antarctica. Over 2 500 images show age and sex plumage variations, perched and in-flight birds, and colour morphs where relevant.
The text focuses on identification, call, habitat, breeding details and diet. Colour-coded distribution maps give resident and migratory status, and bird density.
