Birds of our land is a beautifully illustrated introduction to birds in West Africa that will delight children and adults alike. Robin Gowen’s brilliant illustrations and Virginia Dike’s poetic description help children discover and identify the most common West African birds ( such as the Kite, Crow and Egret) as well as more unusual ones( such as the Violet Plantain-eater, Didric Cuckoo and Fire-bellied Woodpecker)
