Birds of Africa South of the Sahara by Ian Sainclair
This title describes and illustrates all of the birds found in Africa south of the Sahara (the Afrotropic region), including Socotra and islands in the Gulf of Guinea. The guide covers nearly 2100 species and features more than 340 plates. The illustrations portray the most distinctive plumages, as well as diagnostic flight patterns and other details where necessary. Despite the breadth of its coverage, the volume is compact enough to be used in the field and follows the standard field guide format. The most up-to-date taxonomy is used and the text is formatted to give precise identificatin features, habitat, status and calls. Different groups and families have introductory sections and there are distribution maps - combined with atlas surveys - to show species distribution over sub-Saharan Africa.| SKU | Unavailable |
