Description
Beat About The Bush : Birds – Trevor Carnaby
This book is the latest in the successful Beat About The Bush series. It follows the same user-friendly ‘Question and Answer’ format with descriptive and interesting text complemented by more than 900 full-colour photographs.
Although details are given on bird identification and all the bird groups of southern Africa are covered in a very informative ‘More about birds — your A to Z’ section, this work can more appropriately be described as a behavioural guide. It delves into the fascinating lives of birds — discussing in detail their myriad forms, survival strategies, breeding and feeding behaviours, movements, migrations and vocalisations.
The result is a comprehensive reference work that answers all the everyday questions about birds of southern Africa in a style that appeals to novices, birders, twitchers, tourists, bush enthusiasts and field guides alike.
