-Zoologist Dr Peter le Sueur Milstein on South African bird families, bird behaviour, distribution and taxonomy.

-Remarkable Birds of South Africa gives an overview of the huge variety of birds right on our doorstep. It is not meant to be a field guide, but rather attempts to give birders and would-be birders some insights into our fascinating birdlife. Birding obviously requires accurate identification of birds seen, but many people regrettably never progress further than "ticking" the species they identify. Available field guides supply little additional biological information because this is not their function. In this book the author sheds light on some of the fascinating aspects of bird behaviour and taxonomy, and shares interesting anecdotal information that will hopefully increase the enjoyment of birding to participants of all ages and levels of experience.'.
