Full description for The Slater Field Guide to Australian Birds

• This guide is designed for use in the field, and sits easily in a hip-pocket, backpack or car. It describes and illustrates all of the approximately 775 species recorded to date in Australia, nearby islands and seas of the continental shelf. The 167 superbly painted plates enable easy comparison between similar species. The concise and informative text emphasizes the best way to differentiate each species, with a key sentence setting out the most helpful characteristics to watch for. It details the different plumages of males and females, variations between juvenile and adult birds, and gives information on separate subspecies or races, together with their range, shown on a distribution map. In addition, the eggs of all species that actually breed in Australia are illustrated and nests are described.
