Commissioned as the artwork for the field guide, Sasol Birds of Southern Africa, the illustrations produced were of such a high standard and so widely admired, that it was decided to reproduce them at their original size to display them to full advantage.
Illustrators Peter Hayman and Norman Arlott, both of whom have received international recognition for their artwork, have worked to the highest standards and in the more than 4000 images painted, present the 900 species which comprise the southern African avifauna in a degree of detail not previously achieved. Birds in flight are particularly well represented- a feature which distinguishes this work from the welter of bird books currently available to the ornithology market.
To accompany the splendid illustrations Warwick Tarboton has written a stimulating text. Informative without being technical, the text deals with birds from many perspectives: behavioural, historical, biological and environmental. It is not intended as a field guide text but rather to enlighten, and to broaden the depth of knowledge of the interested bird lover.
