A dazzling collection of Australia's most fascinating creatures. Illustrated and Indexed.
From the Kookaburra's outlandish laughter to the Malleefowl's monumental earthworks, Australia's unique and precious birdlife displays an incredible variety.
Illustrated with over 150 superb colour photographs this fascinating and absorbing book provides an introduction to the abudance and diversity of Australian birds. As well as Emus, Budgerigars and other worldwide favourites, many less familiar species such as the Spotted Nightjar, a master of camouflage are also included.
Covering all Australia's bird groups Birds of Australia constitutes a useful one-volume review of the island continent's bird fauna. Each chapter examines a selection of representative birds together with some of the more unusual ones.
Species that possess particularly remarkable traits are dealt with at greater length to give a fuller picture of their character, and intriguing details regarding the behaviour and lifestyles of Australia's birds are presented in an easy-to-read, interesting manner.
