Rezensionen / Stimmen
The ABG is the new benchmark and this concise edition is also the country's first really compact bird guide. For the birder visiting Australia this book provides everything you need and fits neatly into your pocket. * Birdwatch * For residents of Australia, the completeness of the full-sized edition makes it an essential reference to have; but for those of us who are visiting and perhaps don't require such in-depth coverage of vagrants and subspecific variation in the country, this new concise edition makes for the perfect birding companion. The quality remains top class, and the guide's reasonable price and remarkably small size only add to its appeal. * British Birds * Although there are many bird books available for birders visiting Australia, the best by far is The Australian Bird Guide ... The plates, as in the original, are superb and although the species accounts are much reduced in this version, this doesn't take anything away from the usability of the guide in the field ... this concise guide is an invaluable piece of kit that no birder undertaking a trip to Australia should be without. * BTO News * Anyone interested in the birds of Australia should get the full guide, but if you are just visiting, leave that at home and buy this excellent complementary concise guide to take with you! I really can't recommend it highly enough. * Scottish Birds * The Australian Bird Guide concise edition fills a niche in the crowded Australian identification guide world-an up-to-date, well-designed, finely illustrated birding field guide that can actually be used easily in the field. * 10,000 Birds *
