The Botswana Birders’ Companion is one of a series of field guides designed for visitors to Botswana’s wild places. It covers 300 common and conspicuous birds – half the country’s total number of species. Clear photographs assist with species identification, supplemented by short but informative text, and a distribution map for each species. The Botswana Birders’ Companion also features near-endemic birds, globally threatened birds, Botswana’s national bird and Important Bird Areas. There is an alphabetical quick index at the front and a comprehensive checklist/index covering all 598 species at the back.
