Australia boasts a great range of habitats, from tropical rainforests to mangrove swamps, from grassland to coasts, and the impressive list of birds, many unique to Australia reflect this.
Birds have adapted to all the habitats, and have even penetrated the hot, dry desert in the heart of Australia. Including its native birds, introductions from New Guinea and elsewhere, and the vagrants which sometimes turn up, Australia can claim an avifauna of more than 700 different species.
Containing almost 300 outstanding colour photographs and 10 specially commissioned maps, this book is a comprehensive habitat-by-habitat survey of the continent's birdlife.
Every chapter includes a representative selection of the birds that are to be found in the particular environment, and each bird is described in terms of its appearance and habits, its feeding behaviour, and its courtship and nesting.
Please Note: Because of the large size of the book $5 has been included in the normal price to help with the additional packaging and postage cost.
