g'day all,
Have I missed the normal critical reviews of
another Oz Field Guide ?
Yesterday I impulsed purchased at our
local Book shop a copy of
Australian Birds .. a concise photographic field
Guide
By Donald and Molly Trounson.
Price $34.95
The photos were taken by a large number of people
and are well printed.
The binding is very heavy clear plastic and it is
the first of the local guides to have a "short (quick) index
The photos are printed as a block at the front of
the book with the text at the rear.
The cross reference system is easy to
follow.
However even though it includes a Systematic Index
of Orders and Families it did not include a Scientific Name Index
It is not really a Field Guide as it often shows
only one sex and one plumage.
Even though we in Oz are well endowed with 4
major Field Guides, no doubt this book will have some information
not in the others.
Regards,
Bob Forsyth, Mount Isa, NW
