Unlock Sounds from Pictures 

In this groundbreaking South African bird book, the text does not merely describe what can be seen in the photographs, but also offers a wealth of extraordinary facts which, together with the Callfinder, unlock a rich learning experience.

Meet the Authors

Saartjie Kidson and Herman van Niekerk, the authors, in 2003 discovered a shortcoming in local bird guides and immediately started to work on a new series of innovative bird guides. Their knowledge, love of nature and involvement in bird watching and nature conservation ideally equipped them for such a comprehensive project. Two popular regional bird guides, Spotter’s guide to birds of the Bushveld and Spotter’s guide to birds of the Lowveld, were completed with accompanying, value-adding DVD’s and a bird call CD. Then the giant step was taken to produce a national bird guide based on the same concept. Advanced technology, however, now made it possible to replace the separate DVD’s with the Callfinder® greatly enhancing the accessibility of bird calls. A first for South Africa. 

The authors are convinced that bird watching in South Africa will henceforth change substantially and that an entire new generation of young, technologically minded people will become dedicated bird watchers. 

Saartjie was, amongst others, also a founder member of the Naboomspruit Bird Club and Herman of Friends of Nylsvley. Herman also published various other books.

The Callfinder®

The Callfinder is battery operated and easy to use. It doesn’t depend on internet or network coverage and has no complicated menus or operating instructions. 

Briza uses new printing technology to print an invisible grid over every photo. The eye of the Callfinder® reads this grid and recalls the bird’s call from its internal memory card. For the first time, bird calls can be heard from the pages of a field guide! 

Callfinder Maintenance Tip: Please remember to fully charge your Callfinder monthly if not in use.

We love this product, especially for kids as well. It worked perfectly until I tried to update it. I am just struggling to update the Callfinder pen. It erased everything but I can't seem to find the update on the Sappi website. Perhaps something they should look at.
