African Bird Sounds Vol. 2, West and Central Africa

This is Volume 2 of the Bird Sounds of tropical West and Central Africa, consisting of 11 discs. The geographical limits of this work in sub-Saharan Africa are the northern border of Angola, the southern and eastern border of Zaire, the mountains east of Zaire and Congo and finally the western Sudanese border. By using this CD-set it is possible to identify most bird songs and calls between the Mediterranean and the Cape province (excluding far eastern Africa). This 11 CD set, together with African Bird Sounds Vol. 1: North Africa and Atlantic Islands, covers 95% of the species occuring in North, Central and Western Africa (1466 out of the 1550 regular species). Of these 1550 species, 150 are only found north of the Sahara, 275 (migrating and overwintering species) north and south of the Sahara and 1125 in the south only. The recordings made by Claude Chappuis are of excellent quality. Comes with a 194 page booklet in either English or French.
