About this title

Synopsis

* Easy-to-read, up-to-date information augmented with easily understood maps
* Divided by geographical area according to ease of finding each species
* Covers all endemic and resident species plus migratory species expected most years

First published in 1994, The Complete Guide to Finding the Birds of Australia was the first ever book of its type – a complete guide to locating every resident bird species in Australia. This fully revised second edition expands on the best-selling appeal of the first, describing the best-known sites for all of Australia’s endemic birds, plus regular migrants such as seabirds and shorebirds. It covers all states and territories, and is the first guide to include all of Australia’s island and external territories.

Profusely illustrated with color photographs of interesting, unique or unusual Australian birds, this book is a must-have for all birdwatchers.
