A photographic identification guide to 280 bird species in Australia,
including the most commonly seen and rare endemic species, perfect for
resident and visitor alike. High quality photographs from one of
Australia's top 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, IUCN
status. In this third edition many photos have been updated and species
level taxonomy follows IOC version 9.2 (Gill & Donsker, 2019), while
common names follow nomenclature of The BirdLife Australia Working List
of Australian Birds version 3.0 (BirdLife Australia, 2019).
