Peter Steyn

Peter Steyn’s passion for birds began at an early age, and saw him develop into both an expert bird photographer and author of nine books and numerous popular and scientific articles on the subject. His published research on birds of prey, in particular, has been widely acclaimed. He has received the prestigious Gill Memorial Medal ‘for an outstanding lifetime contribution to the knowledge of southern African birds’; and the Steven Piper Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to raptor conservation and research.
