Description
'The Sunbirds of Southern Africa: Also the Sugarbirds, the White-eyes and the Spotted Creeper' by C. J. Skead is a detailed natural-history study of these distinctive groups of southern African birds. First published in 1967 by A. A. Balkema for the South African Bird Book Fund, the book draws on field observations and published research to describe individual species, covering their identification, distribution, habitat, feeding habits, calls, courtship, nesting and breeding behaviour. Illustrated with colour plates, photographs, line drawings and distribution maps, it offers an in-depth account of the birds and their ecology. The original edition was also issued with a gramophone record of bird calls and songs, making it a notable work for birdwatchers, ornithologists and collectors of South African natural-history books.
