Contributing to Roberts Online

We invite photographers to take this opportunity to share their digital bird images and so contribute to ornithology in southern Africa. All photographers will be credited alongside their images, and donated images will be labelled as such. Photographers who donate 30 or more accepted images will receive a complimentary Roberts 7 Multimedia DVD. Another benefit will be a photographers gallery, where all contributors will be acknowledged with a description of their work and contact details.

Welcome to Roberts Online

Welcome to Roberts Online, a joint project between the John Voelcker Bird Book Fund www.robertsbirds.co.za, Southern African Birding cc www.sabirding.co.za, and the bird photographers and bird recordists of Southern Africa.

Roberts Online presents a unique opportunity to access online the full texts of Roberts Birds of Southern Africa 7th Edition, on a subscription basis. The texts are illustrated with artwork, distribution maps, bird sound sonograms, and thousands of digital photographs. The photographs are intended as an additional guide to identification by illustrating the full range of plumages from juvenile to adult, and also to illustrate the life-style of adult birds, from general habits, food and feeding techniques, to breeding displays, nests, eggs and chicks. In a similar way we plan to illustrate the range of geographical variation and repertoire of bird sounds.

Please see our example pages by clicking on the bird images.
