Having such ample territory also offers a great amount and diversity of habitats for birds. This guide displays 1100 photographs for 714 species of birds.The guide have been smartly layer out in the following way, on the left page is the name of the bird, a full color photo, the scientific name and size; these are accompanied by a small map of Australia showing locations where the bird can be found plus a fairly but comprehensive pertinent description of the referred species. The page on the right displays some more pictures of the birds, all in bright color and high quality sharpness. As a bird photographer myself, I was very impressed with the presentation and layout of this Photographic Guide. I believe that this guide would be a great asset to carry in your luggage for the next trip to Australia.” Book review by:  H.J.
