Birds of the South Western Cape meets the need for a comprehensive, compact, yet detailed reference work of the birds of this area, with each species illustrated by one, or more, superb coloured photographs of the very highest standard. This book is an invaluable guide to identifying the various species in the field, large enough to be informative, small enough to handle easily, and containing specially selected photographs showing clearly the distinctive attributes which make identification unmistakable. The species are grouped in ornithological families, numbered and indexed for quick reference, both in English and Afrikaans, with the recognised numbering of Robert's Birds of South Africa included as well. Latîn names have been brought up to date, descriptions are clear and concise and further information as regards average length, young birds, flight patterns, natural habitat, courtship, breeding, migration, the call, the nest, the eggs, and many interesting patterns of behaviour, have been included. Bird lovers will welcome this book both as a field guide and as a magnificent photographic record of the birds of the area.
