WADERS OF SOUTH AFRICA BY PHIL HOCKEY & CLAIRE DOUIE

In Waders of South Africa, Phil Hockey, a leading international specialist on the subject, draws on up-to-date scientific information to provide a fascinating insight into the lives and lifestyles of waders: their food and foraging ecology, distribution and breeding habits. He also examines the migratory patterns of the many species that travel vast distances to and from southern Africa every year - some of these journeys totalling more than 25,000 kilometres.

The more common waders are discussed in comprehensive species accounts, each accompanied by a distribution map and illustrated with a full-plate by Claire Douie, showing plumage variations and other identification characteristics.
