A companion to Roberts Birds of Southern Africa VII, this comprehensive field guide, translated into Afrikaans, examines numerous aspects of South African birds, from feeding to breeding strategies, and is the first regional African field guide with helpful multicolored distribution maps. The breeding bards that are conveniently placed below the maps show the full breeding season, as well as peak breeding for all species. The resource also features the meaning of scientific names (etymology) and colloquial names in 13 languages. This in-depth information, together with 166 annotated plates—illustrated by seven of southern Africa’s finest bird artists—makes this an essential guide for both beginners and experts in the field of ornithology.
