THE RARE BIRDS OF SOUTHERN AFRICA by Phillip A Clancey
The Rare Birds of Southern Africa is the showcase for 94 of the rarest (and most vulnerable) birds to be found in southern Africa. Rarity in birds arouses more than just passing interest in both serious ornithologists and amateur birdwatchers and, with this in mind, Dr. Phillip Alexander Clancey, doyen of southern African ornithologists, has written and lavishly illustrated one of the most authoritative books produced in recent years. Dealing with those rare bird species breeding in the Southern African Sub-Region (south of 16° latitude), each is portrayed in masterly detail as to form and coloration, against a meticulously executed background showing its natural habitat. Every one of the 75 colour plates is supported by detailed, comprehensive text and 2-colour distribution map. Appendices include a section entitled Major References, and a chapter on those species not now considered to be in immediate danger but whose future status warrants careful monitoring.
