Kenneth Newman's Garden Birds of South Africa: A House-Holder's Guide to the Common Birds of the Urban Areas

Kenneth Newman is an established bird painter, author and ornithologist. He has produced a number of books introducing ornithology to the layman. This book covers over 900 bird species and is the most comprehensive identification guide to the birds of Southern Africa ever published. This paperback edition is reprinted with the most up-to-date information available. It describes and illustrates those birds that are regularly seen in the garden. The Sunday Tribune said, "The full-page coloured illustrations of each species are exceptional." Kenneth Newman has gone to infinite trouble to make sure you recognize the birds you are likely to see wherever you may live. He tells you what to expect of them, how they nest, how they feed and how to recognize their calls and songs.
