This pocket-sized guide to the Birds of Namibia has been designed primarily for use in the field. It features some 340 of the region’s birds, particularly those most frequently seen, but including some that are sought after by birders. Concise text for each species gives key ID pointers in italics, and describes their call and favoured habitat. Accounts are accompanied by colour photographs of all the birds – selected to show their most obvious identifying features; where there is a marked difference, for example, between the sexes or between breeding and non-breeding plumage, more than one photograph has been included. Distribution maps are provided for all featured species. Light and handy for use in the field, this guide will give birders an excellent introduction to Namibia’s bird life. Review: Nice and simple book - Nice and simple book. I have a biology background, but this was a great book to use with my teenage kids and other travelers. Not overly large and easy to find your bird. Review: This is not the best book for people new to Namibian birds - This is not the best book for people new to Namibian birds. It would do better to have a raptor "overhead" section, and a way to more clearly mark the summer-only visitors. They also have some poor photos and omitted the ermomela--a common bird in most habitats.

Useful compact field guide
This book was what I wanted-a small sized field book to help assist me in identifying the regularly encountered birds in Namibia.

Buenas fotos de aves de Namibia.
Libro no exhaustivo de aves de Namibia. Son libros de bolsillo que me resultan útiles para viajes y como medio de tener una primera visión y confrontar datos para la fotografía de aves de cada lugar, que es mi afición. Las fotos están bastante bien. Y el libro, si es como libro de mera consulta y para un aficionado, cumple, a mi criterio, su función. Lo puedes llevar encima en todo momento por su tamaño y peso, lo que es una ventaja en los viajes. No vale para ornitologos o gente con interés profesional en la avifauna de Namibia.

Un guide au format de poche très pratique mais à compléter par un guide plus complet
Avantage du guide est son format. Un cm d'épaisseur et 10 cm pour le côté le lus long environ. Par contre, ne contient pas toutes les espèces. Utile de compléter par un guide qui reprend la totalité des espèces de l'Afrique australe car je n'ai pas trouvé de guide complet avec uniquement les oiseaux de Namibie.

Ok for a 'not quite birding' trip
Good for common birds that you dont know, when on a winter animal safari. Light and quite easy to use in a hurry. Agree that underside views of raptors would be a good addition. Not up to a serious bird trip.
