The SASOL Bird e-Guide - Acknowledgements


This online field-guide would not have been possible without the generous support of SASOL. In particular we would like to thank Richard Hughes and Jan Fourie at SASOL.

Struik Publishers should be thanked for allowing this concept to go on line, and particularly Pippa Parker, who backed the project from the outset, and gave us permission to use the images and maps from the Sasol Birds of Southern Africa (3rd Edition).

We are also thankful to Norman Arlott, for allowing us to use his illustrations for this online version project. To visit Norman's web page, please go here

Peter Ginn gratefully gave us permission to use drawings from his classic little book: Birds Afield

Geoff Lockwood checked all the texts, and made a number of useful suggestions both regarding the texts and the Identification Wizard.

As regarding the choice of the 200 species to use in this version of the on-line field guide, we had substantial and very useful comments from a number of local birders in different parts of the country. The following people assisted in this regard: Dave O'Hearns, Jenny Norman, Bo Bonnievale, Shaun Peard, Gertie Griffith, Kirsten Louw, Pat Hulley, Andre Pienaar, Roy Sarkin, Steve Davis, Sally Harris, Sally Adam, John McAllister, Paul Martin and David Winter.
