Cyrus, Digby. & Robson, Nigel. - Bird Atlas of Natal. Illustrated By Tony Clarkson.

University of Natal Press. Pietermaritzburg 1980. Black cloth boards. 320pp illustrated 4to. Includes the vegetation & altitude transparency for the maps which is often missing. A Fine copy in VG+ d/w (spine faded, a little folded over along top front edge, minor wear at head & tail of spine, no tears or loss). ISBN: 0869802151 Signed on title page by both Authors. The distinctive feature of this is that recordings by the authors over a 10-year period from January 1970 have been plotted onto maps to give a precise record of the distribution of 530 species. There is a short description of each species world distribution and local habitat. The occurences are shown with seasonal variation and will guide bird watchers to positive identification. Includes also a discussion of the project background and methods used to assemble the data. The environmental factors affecting the distributions such as altitude, vegetation, temperature, rainfall, etc are depicted in a further series of maps with an account of the main vegetation types found in Natal. The distributions of 100 rarer species are outlined. A checklist of birds recorded in Natal along with full scientific and english name indexes complete this work.
