Birder in the Bushveld: Journeys through South Africa in poetry and pictures

Poet, naturalist and environmentalist Tim Ellis tells stories from three trips he made to South Africa over the course of twelve years. He brings to life the beauty and rich wildlife diversity of that country in perfectly crafted verse. The poems are displayed over gorgeous photographs taken by his partner and travelling companion, the artist Robbie Burns. We meet not just the iconic animals and birds of South Africa like Elephants, Rhinos, and Ostriches, but also many less familiar creatures such as Elands, Gemsboks, and the Addo Flightless Dung Beetle. A serious literary work but with the visual appeal and intimacy of a holiday photo album, Birder in the Bushveld is a poetry book like none you have seen before.
