A whole new concept in quick and easy field indentification. Designed for the beginner, and also as a companion to the definitive Newman's Birds of South Africa, this volume is arranged in colour-coded chapters according to the birds' dominant colours. The introduction gives full instructions on how to use the book, both on it's own and in conjunction with Newman's Birds. It also offers a broad introduction to defining characteristics, and bird behaviours. A flash of emerald green in the trees or the glimpse of an unusual red bill need no longer be a frustration to the bird lover.
