			One of the world’s fastest growing hobbies – birding – is the focus of this pioneering ecotourism guide. Western South Africa is one of the world’s greatest biodiversity hotspots and is legendary among international and local birders alike for the remarkable suite of birds that are found here and nowhere else.
			The 21 upland game bird species found in southern Africa fall into four groups: francolins and spur fowls; quails; guinea fowls and sand grouse. Their natural history and status are described in the authoritative, informative text, and by means of 50 superbly executed illustrations and numerous detailed line drawings.
			This comprehensive, practical and visually attractive guide presents the full range of Southern Africa’s breeding birds (722 in total), enabling the reader to identify species by means of the nest each builds and the eggs it lays
			Like the people of southern Africa, some owls live in the city, others in the outskirts, and yet others in the bushveld or grassland areas. This is a hands-on guide that tells one where and when to look and listen for owls and how to encourage them in our gardens. The authors of this unique guide both have a passion for owls and have learnt much about them over the years of observing and photographing these shy night birds.
			A stunning and valuable addition to any bird-book collection and an indispensable photographic guide to birds of the region, representing a notable advance in bird identification guides. More than 1000 colour photographs, drawn from the work of dedicated amateurs and well-known professionals in the field, provide both the novice and the seasoned bird-watcher with a valuable source of illustrative material with which to identify birds.
