The Official Checklist of Birds in Southern Africa

Birdlife South Africa and Sasol
Struik, Cape Town, 2004

This handy pocket-sized booklet lists all the species of birds occurring in the southern African region, providing the new common names for all. Many birders remain perplexed with the many recent name changes and species splits, so this little publication will go some way to reducing this confusing state. The list is cross-referenced to the most popular field guide in the region ‘Sasol Birds of Southern Africa'. The pages are designed in such a way that each species has six blank columns, which will allow the user to utilise the checklist in six areas or on six trips (after which a new booklet can be bought). Recommended for all southern African birders.
