This is the sixth volume in the Birds of Africa series, covering
the rich avifauna of the world's second largest continent.
Universally recognised as by far the most authoritative work ever
published on the subject, The Birds of Africa is a superb
multi-contributor reference work, with encyclopaedic species texts,
stunning paintings of all species and numerous subspecies, hundreds
of informative line drawings, detailed range maps, and extensive
bibliographies. Each volume contains an Introduction that brings
the reader up to date with the latest developments in African
ornithology, including the evolution and biogeography of African
birds. Diagnoses of the families and genera, often with
superspecies maps, are followed by the comprehensive species
accounts themselves. These include descriptions of range and
status, field characters, voice, general habits, food, and breeding
habits. Full bibliographies, acoustic references, and indexes
complete this scholarly work of reference. This sixth volume in the
series deals comprehensively with picathartes, babblers,
long-tailed tits, tits, penduline tits, nuthatches, creepers,
sunbirds, white-eyes, sugarbirds, true shrikes, bush-shrikes,
bulbuls, helmet-shrikes, orioles, drongos, crows, starlings and
oxpeckers. The editors and artists have worked closely with other
authors - all acknowledged experts in their field - to produce a
superb reference in which comprehensive texts on every species are
complemented by accurate and detailed paintings and drawings of the
birds themselves.
