Photographic Field Guide: Birds Of Australia

This is a bird identification guide with a difference. Instead of using colour plates of paintings to identify the species, the book features photographs. Photographs of living birds can often provide detail not available in paintings, such as typical poses, real habitat and often more realistic colouring.

This highly successful book features all 840 bird species that live on or visit the Australian continent. Following a brief introduction about bird biology, habitats and bird families, the main part of the book comprises species entries.
