Written and illustrated by one of Australia's most respected birding experts, Michael Morcombe, this has been an essential reference for every birdwatcher and field naturalist for several decades. The most comprehensive compact field guide on Australian birds, it features over 3,000 illustrations detailing subspecies, males, females and juveniles of over 800 species from the mainland, Tasmania and offshore islands. The Quickfind system of colour tags gives easy reference to bird families, with locations pinpointed with distribution maps, and the unique tables at the beginning of each chapter illustrate the relative sizes of species. Includes a clear plastic protective cover.
