Birds of Africa Volume VII

Hilary Fry & Stuart Keith

This is the final volume in the magnificent Birds of Africa series - the definitive work on the rich avifauna of the world’s second-largest continent. Volume VII treats the remainder of the passerine families of Africa and its various offshore islands, covering the sparrows, weavers, whydahs, waxbills, finches and buntings. Like its predecessors, this book boasts an exhaustively researched and referenced text, distilling all available data on the identification, ecology, distribution, behaviour and status of the species covered. Martin Woodcock’s exquisite colour identification plates are complemented by a wealth of superb line drawings by Ian Willis which illustrate details of Africa’s birdlife such as weaver nest structure and Ploceidae display postures.
