Australian Bird Guide cover

The Australian Bird Guide – the most comprehensive field guide to Australian birds ever published.

Australia's avifauna is large, diverse and spectacular, reflecting the continent's wide range of habitats and evolutionary history. The book covers every regularly occurring species in Australia, including subspecies and rarities. Illustrations of more than 900 species on almost 250 plates, with particular emphasis on providing the fine detail required to identify difficult groups and distinctive plumages, make The Australian Bird Guide the most comprehensive guide to Australian birds ever published.

This revised edition includes updated maps and artwork, reflecting advances in our knowledge of the biology and distribution of Australia's birds, plus fully updated text to ensure identification, distribution and status details are current and accurate, along with an improved index.

This book sets the standard for coverage of Australia's remarkable avifauna. It is truly indispensable for anyone looking to explore Australia's magnificent and unique birdlife.

Like looking through a new pair of binoculars, The Australian Bird Guide makes it seem like you are seeing even familiar birds for the first time. * Australian Birdlife *
The ABG – nine years in the making - is a first-rate field guide, one of the best I’ve seen. Should you buy this book if you’ve already got an Australian field guide? Yes, I’d suggest it would be a shame not to … Highly recommended. * BTO Book Reviews *
