SOUTH AFRICAN BIRDS

South African inland and coastal birds in their natural environment. South Africa has 174 endemic birds (occurring or breeding only in the region). One of the reasons for this high bird diversity is the regions topographical diversity. From high mountain grasslands through forests, savanna, fynbos, Karoo and desert, as well as rivers, estuaries, lagoons, lakes, dams and pans, down to the seashores of South Africa. This makes it an exciting challenge to identify and photograph the birds of South Africa within the region. New photographs will be added as the various birds are captured in flight, nesting, searching for food or casually feeding within the region that they occur. CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE
