Ken Simpson and Nicolas Day present a comprehensive visual and descriptive guide that chronicles the full spectrum of Australian birdlife — from the iconic Emu and Kookaburra of the outback to the dazzling parrots and honeyeaters of the tropical rainforests — making it an indispensable reference for both the casual birdwatcher and the serious naturalist alike.\n\nThe work illustrates each species with meticulous colour artwork by Nicolas Day, accompanied by Simpson's authoritative field notes on habitat, behaviour, distribution, and identifying characteristics, resulting in a guide that is as scientifically rigorous as it is visually stunning. Rooted in decades of field research and ornithological scholarship, it argues the case that Australia's birdlife is among the most unique and biodiverse on the planet, a claim backed by the sheer breadth of species documented within its pages. Whether you are scanning coastal wetlands or the arid red centre, this landmark volume will leave you wondering just how many more feathered wonders are waiting to be found.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50813027713243,"sku":"2026100010318-SECONDHAND","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/abd46781-1fb1-4741-9b4b-9f1db35eb71e.png?v=1792371824","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010318-secondhand-the-birds-of-australia-a-book-of-identification-758-birds-in-colour","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
