There are two things you need to know about A Field Guide to the Wildlife of South Georgia , edited by Robert Burton and John Croxall, and produced by the South Georgia Heritage Trust.

Back home I meticulously planned the perfect birding route based on our explorations, made the bookings and confirmed the first commercial birding tour to Ghana. Although this park was logged in the past, as a national park it is one of the few forests in Ghana that is really protected. . What makes Ghana so special?

The Crossley ID Guide: Waterfowl , by Richard Crossley, Paul Baicich, and Jessie Barry is the fourth book in the Crossley ID Guide series, and I think it is the best one yet. Answers are given at the back of the book, thank goodness. It also contains a unique feature that may not be accepted by some birders. But, more on that later. .
