Birds of Kruger National Park by Keith Barnes and Ken Behrens

Published by Princeton in their Wild Guide Series, Flexibound, 224 pages, Price £22.95

This national park is one of the best known in the world so finally we have a book which covers 95% of the birds you are likely to see here. All are photographs covering 295 species of bird and like many guides the book starts with habitats showing you where you are likely to see woodland, open plains and wetland birds. With 1.2 million visitors a year to the park the book will be a valuable help for the untrained eye and with a mammal book already printed in the series no one should go wrong identifying the species.
