The most comprehensive work yet published in one volume on Australian bird life. Full details are given of the field marks, habitats, voice characteristics, breeding and nesting habits and range of each species. To enable quick field id each description is linked by a serial number to its illustration and also to its relevant distribution map. The 56 colour and 32 black and white pages of illustrations were specially painted by Roy Doyle and show clearly and accurately the form and plumage of each species. Over 10 years' intensive research and field study have produced a filed guide which will be invaluable to every professional and amateur ornithologist.
