Description

A Naturalists Guide to the Birds of Australia is an easy-to-use introductory photographic guide to 280 bird species seen in Australia, including the most commonly seen and rare endemic species. High quality photographs from the author and other top Australian nature photographers are accompanied by detailed species descriptions, which include nomenclature, size, distribution, habits and habitat. The user-friendly introduction covers climate, vegetation, biogeography and the key sites for viewing the listed species. Also included is an all-important checklist of all of the birds of Australia encompassing, for each species, its common and scientific name, and local and IUCN status. In this fourth edition many photos have been updated and species level taxonomy follows IOC version 13.1 (Gill et al. 2023), while common names follow nomenclature of The BirdLife Australia Working List of Australian Birds version 3.0 (BirdLife Australia, 2019).
