Birds of Australia covers all 714 species of resident birds and regularly occurring migrants and features more than 1,100 stunning colour photographs, including many photos of subspecies and plumage variations never before seen in a field guide.

Detailed facing-page species accounts describe key identification features such as size, plumage, distribution, behaviour, and voice. This one-of-a-kind guide also provides extensive habitat descriptions with a large number of accompanying photos. The text relies on the very latest IOC taxonomy, and the distribution maps incorporate the most current mapping data, making this the most up-to-date guide to Australian birds.
