Customer Reviews

A handy book to take bush walking
This book covers all the birds of Australia with good bird drawings and maps showing where the birds are found, which really helps distinguish between similar birds. This book is compact enough to take in your bag or pocket when out and about-so you can identify birds in the city, country or anywhere!

Excellent Book.
i bought this book prior to my emigrating to Australia and for the price was not expecting such a well illustrated work, well what a pleasant surprise i got with all plates being very well drawn and easy to use. The book is a good size for field use. My father is a wildlife photographer & has informed me that he also has this book but an earlier edition. Excellent book all round and very well priced.

Australian birds
Bought this book as a gift for my father who is travelling to Australia. He is really pleased with the illustrations and information provided, as he is a keen birdwatcher. The only downside is that it is quite a heavy book for a traveller.
