Product Information
This guide to the identification and classification of all the birds so far recorded in Australia is designed for use in the field, to slip easily into a hip-pocket, backpack, or glovebox. The illustrations have been planned to enable easy comparison between similar species. The text emphasises the best way to differentiate each species, with a key sentance setting out the most helpful characteristics to watch for. In the Slater Field Guide to Australian Birds , more than 750 species are described and illustrated in 157 superbly painted plates. The concise and informative text details the different plumages of male and female birds, variations between adult and juvenile birds, information on seperate sub-species or races, together with their range. The book also includes species distribution maps, which enable the watcher to tell at a glance whether the particular bird is within its area, or is perhaps a rare visitor. In addition, the eggs of all species that actually breed in Australia are illustrated. A concise description of the nest is given as well. The Slater Field Guide to Australian Birds is a must for naturalists and enthusiasts alike visiting Australia.Product Identifiers

The best Field Guide for Birders
A great improvement on the original 2001 Slater Field Guide. The outside cover is plastic reinforced, and there is a quick index at the back. This makes the guide more robust and quicker to use, which is important when out in the field. Still fits comfortably in a pocket. But it is a 2009 edition and some birds species and sub-species have been updated. Such a pity that there is not a 2020 edition.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
