Young raptors

"The Birds of Prey of Southern Africa" is neither a reference work nor a field guide, but rather a book introducing southern African raptors to a more general audience. I'm not sure if the book was intended for a young readership, but it could work just fine in the hands of children around the age of 12 - 15. The text is written by Alan Kemp and the color illustrations (which are very good) were made by C.G. Finch-Davies. In very traditional fashion, the book includes both the diurnal birds of prey (eagles, haws, etc) and the owls. Taxonomically, they are quite distinct. Some of the species included have exotic-sounding names like Gymogene, Bateleur, Verreaux's Eagle and Secretarybird. They look pretty exotic, too. I'm not sure how to rate this book, but as a swift introduction to the world of raptors for a broad and perhaps young audience, it could probably fill a niche.
