The Wildebeest's Review of "Identification of the Pipits of SA"

I really like the concept of this budget booklet written by Faansie Peacock, an up-and-coming birder and author. In “Identification of the Pipits of Southern Africa” Faansie has written and produced a no frills guide to this difficult group of birds.

This is not an illustrated guide to Pipits, that is left to the numerous publications covering southern African birds, but this provides far more information that traditional field guides can. It also includes a step-by-step guide to identifying these birds.

Each species has a write-up that may have some or all the following sections: status, habitat, habits and call, and description.

I think that the idea behind this publication is a good one and feel that other birders should take note and produce something similar on a different group of birds.
