South Africa Birds: A Folding Pocket Guide to Familiar Species

This is a nice small and extremely portable laminated folding naturalist guide.Great for day trips as a quick reference.Each bird is listed by its common name and scientific name and its size in Imperial and metric with a brief description of the bird as well.Good for the price.Great to have when you don't feel like lugging the book with you!

I bought this to bring on safari in Botswana. It obviously doesn't have all the birds, but it does have quite a few. Everyone I was traveling with loved it, and kept borrowing it. It was a great reference tool, and was much easier to use than the several hundred page bird book!

Un petit fascicule très pratique et qui sera glissé dans mon sac à dos ! Une liste des espèces présentes en Afrique du Sud (les principales). Cela ne remplace pas un livre avec des infos détaillées, mais cela permet d'avoir les noms en anglais et donc de communiquer avec les personnes sur place :)

Easy to use for quick reference whilst out and about and being plastic covered quite durable.

Although very limited in the number and variety of birds included, it nevertheless proved very useful on a recent safari in Botswana. I would recommend it, especially for those of us who are not naturally birders.
