South African Birds That Are Dependant On Wetland Areas For Survival
The Wetland Birds Of South Africa
The birds that are dependant on a wetland or marsh habitat in South Africa, are not often encountered. These wetland birds are very secretive and do not like to be caught out in the open areas. The only bird in this group of birds that you can observe a fair amount in the open is the Red-Knobbed Coot. The wetland areas of South Africa are under huge threat and these scarcely found birds that occur in the wetlands of South Africa are getting scarcer.
