Birds

From the amateur birder wanting to learn more about the basics of how birds live and fit into their environment, through to serious twitchers wanting to get to grips with the finer aspects of bird behaviour, Trevor Canaby's Beat About The Bush - Birds, is a worthwhile read.

​Mammals

This book follows in the footsteps of its immensely popular predecessor of the same name. This expanded version has, however, been revised to cover mammals in a much more comprehensive manner with updated classifications, new questions and answers, a more user-friendly format and more than 600 full-colour photographs. The section on tracks and signs is superbly illustrated to make this intimidating and confusing subject easy to grasp.

​Mammals & Birds

Back by popular demand, this updated rework of the original book in the series has new information, extra questions and better photographs.  It has also been reduced in page size, making it easier to take with on excursions to the bush.

The Antelope of Africa


​A definitive field guide to the Antelope of Africa, this book conveys their conservation status, threats and risks for survival, distribution ranges, habitat requirements, habits, and how some of the species were introduced to the scientific world. With text complemented by distribution maps, full-color photographs, and the latest taxonomic classifications, this book also features specific reference to antelope sub-species as the conservation prospects for many species differ from region to region.

Exploring The Wild

Any visit to a wilderness area is bound to prompt many questions, not only about the animals and plants that inhabit the region but also about the landscapes and processes that shape the environment. This book is designed to answer those most common questions, briefly and generally covering the topics of animal behaviour and the signs that animals leave behind, with specific reference to mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates. Interesting information on the plants these animals depend on is also included, as are the most interesting aspects of climate/weather, geology, astronomy and bush management practices.
