BirdLife South Africa’s magazine, African Birdlife (September/October 2022)
African Birdlife is a bi-monthly magazine and includes well-written articles and stunning photographs of our continent’s birds.
Why does the African Jacana have long toes? What colour is the Cape Parrot? Which bird feasts on wild figs? And where does the Diderick Cuckoo lay its eggs?
Children will find the answers to these questions - and lots more interesting facts - while enjoying hours of fun colouring in a selection of our most beautiful birds.
There are more than 40 to colour in, helping budding artists and young children learn something about each as they work through the title. In the middle of the title is a gallery of all the birds, but this time in colour, giving a clear guide as to which crayons or paints to use when colouring in the outlines on the other pages.
Following the success of My first book of Southern African Birds, volume 2 introduces a further 58 fascinating birds found at the seashore, rivers and lakes, in grasslands and forests, and also in suburban gardens.
Striking full-colour illustrations are accompanied by brief descriptions in four languages, and there are visual clues to diet, nest, footprint and each bird’s relative size.
This book will appeal to southern Africa's younger readers and inspire an interest in birds and the natural world.
A very first guide to birds for children aged 3 to 7, this title presents 56 of the most striking and commonly seen southern African species.
After a brief introduction that explains how the title works and provides simple guidelines for watching birds, each new page introduces a new bird. Most of the information supplied is visual, in the form of a full colour illustration of the bird and line drawings of food eaten, typical nest and the bird's track. A visual guide to the bird's size is given at the base of the page.
The brief text (provided in four languages) highlights interesting or notable facts about the bird.
The definitive photographic guide to the amazing avifauna of South Africa.
South Africa – from the vast savanna of Kruger to the unparalleled richness of the Cape – is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, featuring the highest number of endemics of any African country, as well as rich seabird assemblage and vast numbers of more widespread yet no less spectacular African birds.
The perfect companion for any wildlife-friendly visitor, Birds of South Africa provides photographic coverage of more than 340 species that regularly occur in the region.
Concise text for each species includes information on identification, songs and calls, behaviour, distribution and habitat, with each photo having been carefully selected to guide identification. A guide to the best birdwatching sites in South Africa is also included.
Portable yet authoritative, this is the perfect guide for travellers and birdwatchers visiting this spectacular and bird-rich destination.
