Description
From the eastern rainforests to the central deserts, Australia is home to some 900 species of birds. Finding Australian Birds covers over 400 birdwatching sites conveniently grouped into the best birding areas, from one end of the country to the other. This includes areas such as Kakadu in the Top End and Uluru in the Red Centre of the Northern Territory, the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, an amazing diversity of forests along the eastern Australian seaboard, including some of the world's tallest forests in Tasmania, the iconic Strzelecki and Birdsville Tracks in South Australia, and the mallee woodlands and remote Kimberley region in Western Australia. Chapters are arranged by state or territory and begin with an overview. Birdwatching sites are then grouped by region to provide specific details on target species, access and useful information such as accommodation and facilities. This second edition includes over 30 new birdwatching sites and updated information on site access. The book also provides a comprehensive "Bird Finding Guide," listing all of Australia's birds with details on their abundance and where exactly to see them. Finding Australian Birds will be valuable to both Australian birdwatchers and international visitors. It will assist novices, birders of intermediate skill and keen "twitchers" to find any Australian species. Features:
- Fully updated second edition, featuring new sites and current site access details.
- Up-to-date information on 400+ good birding locations in Australia, written by experts with first-hand knowledge of the sites.
- An easy-to-use travel companion for local and international birdwatchers on Australia's best natural sites.
