Do you know that we must have one of the greatest arrays of bird life in Southern Africa compared with most other countries in the world ?
To go with this we have a wonderful range of ornithological books on the subject,beautifully illustrated and with information about about their habits, locale and how to recognise the many and varied species.
We have many ornithologists to thank for this , particularly Kenneth Newman, a wonderful artist whose hundreds of illustrations have appeared in his many publications throughout the world..No trip to our many parks and reserves would be complete without one of his books or catalogues.We can thank also Ian Sinclair and also Sasol for their tremendous sponsorships.
For those who prefer the Afrikaans versions they come complete with even the birds names in Afrikaans.
There is no better way of introducing children to the wild life of Southern Africa particularly as birds are not confined by fences to their habitats !
