The Spectacular Woodland Birds Of The South African Bushveld

The Smart-Thinking Woodland Bird Species

Hoopoes, Hornbills, Barbets and Honeyguides. These birds, as spectacular as they are, have a very logical way of thinking and this has served these species well in the untamed wilds of South Africa. In these bird species lie some of my all-time favourite woodland birds, like the Crested Barbet, the Greater Honeyguide and the Crowned Hornbill. These birds, with their amazing calls, add to the experience of a South African birding safari.
