Australian Bird Guide Reviews

For residents of Australia, the completeness of the full-sized edition makes it an essential reference to have; but for those of us who are visiting and perhaps dont require such in-depth coverage of vagrants and subspecific variation in the country, this new concise edition makes for the perfect birding companion. The quality remains top class, and the guides reasonable price and remarkably small size only add to its appeal. * British Birds *
Anyone interested in the birds of Australia should get the full guide, but if you are just visiting, leave that at home and buy this excellent complementary concise guide to take with you! I really cant recommend it highly enough. * Scottish Birds *
