Another title in the ‘Quick Guide’ series, this compact little book is
a handy identification guide to the surprising variety of nests built
by southern African birds. Covering multiple species, it is arranged
according to nest type - ground, woven, stick, cup, mud-pellet and
domed, as well as nests in tree holes, on water, on cliffs and in
scrapes on the ground. It is packed with photographs and illustrations
showing the ingenuity of the designs, the birds that built them, and
the eggs that are laid in them. In pithy fashion, the text – matched to
the photographs – describes:
- nesting site and nest structure
- building materials used to construct outer and inner layers
- nesting habits of the architects
- clutch size
A simple key to nest types on the inside front cover directs readers to
the relevant section in the book.
