New Zealand's most experienced bird photographer has now produced a splendid field guide to all the birds found on mainland New Zealand. The result of many years' painstaking fieldwork, the book contains more than 360 photographs, and is the first photographic field guide to the birds of New Zealand. The information in the book includes both common and up-to-date scientific names, together with descriptions of each bird's habitat, distribution, physical characteristics, voice, food and breeding habits. Where relevant, plumage differences between the sexes are illustrated. A glossary and a helpful section on birdwatching equipment complete an invaluable field guide that no bird watcher, tramper, nature enthusiast or photographer will want to be without.
