Go into the site and click on the video that shows how he produces his drawings - amazing!

I don't think it is as quick as in the video Just imagine the time it takes to do them all

It is for sure very impressive!

I was at Exclusive Books today and saw the reference edition of Robwrts, Birds of SA.
At R895, with the exchange rate it isnt too bad.
But it is very very heavy.

Is it worth getting?

[Toko]

Perhaps check out this, Dzombo? Might be better than the book with more photos etc.

I think it's a good idea to have online
but it's coast each time we ask for a birds ?... or... sorry how it works

I think of a Central Europe connection in South Africa

If you have an iPhone or a Samsung, your best bet is to buy the Roberts app.

You get free updates every time they change the names of birds, plus you have all the text from the Roberts field guide and Roberts VII, including all the photos and sketches. You also have the bird calls of ALL the birds which the Sasol app doesn't have.

Since I have had the app I haven't used my books once.

I have a Samsung, so it stay on with or without connection... sorry... just over 39 and maybe a little bit blonde one

so it will work in Kgalagadi

[Sprocky]

Yes nan, all the data is on the phone, no connection needed.

I use the heavy Roberts I have at home, Dzombo. And the paperback SASOL in the Park. I frown upon the cellphone stuff, and beat Sprocky regarding speed of identification on our April picture winner trip!
