Great Garden Birds

The best tips and advice from 'Africa Birds & Birding' - available from wildmags@blackeaglemedia.co.za
Paperback, 80 pages, 280x210 pages, R69-95

This attractive magazine-format publication is aimed at encouraging people to not only identify the birds which might visit South African gardens, but also to devise ways of attracting the maximum diversity of species. The first half of the publication provides advice on garden landscaping, water features, ideal food plants and nest boxes, as well as ideas for supplementary feeding. The accompanying photographs by many of Africa's most accomplished bird photographers are a delight to the eye. The second half of the book is an illustrated directory of 100 commonly observed garden birds, again with outstanding photographs. Overall, a refreshing and stimulating book from the publishers of the continent's leading bird magazine 'Africa Birds & Birding'.
