Newman's Birds by Colour

Newmans Birds by Colour

Newman's Birds by Colour

The name Ken Newman is synonymous with birds and birding, and Newman’s Birds by Colour remains a favourite among both younger birders and those starting out in the field. Bold colour sections group the more commonly seen birds by the dominant colour of their plumage and other distinctive features, offering users a quick and easy way to identify them.

A comprehensive introduction to birds and birding includes such topics as bird classification, anatomy, flight, migration, feeding and nesting. There are helpful sections offering information on what you need to go birding, and where and when to look for birds. This third edition has been updated with the latest name changes as reflected in the commemorative edition of Newman’s Birds of Southern Africa.

For all of you out there with children and or spouses and friends who have started birding, or are still fairly new to the obsession ;-) this is a really lovely bird guide! 
Often IDing is an issue for beginner birders as they don't even know where to start looking in the bird guide; now they can look at the predominant colour of the bird, or if it has a collar, speckles etc. and then go straight to that section in the book, making IDing far less intimidating! 
 
The illustrations are beautiful, that is one thing one can always say for Newman's bird guides!
