Advice for birding guides for WA and SA

[Jochen Brocks <>]

Dear Birders,

my friend Mark Yunker from Canada will be in Australia in August for a
birding trip and would be grateful for recommendations for good
finding-birds-guides for Western and Southern Australia. I would be
grateful for your advice.

Many thanks

Jochen







Hi Jochen,

Niven's book arrived today.  We will spend a few days reading it and
then finalise the rest of our NT trip.  

Now that Niven's book is in hand can you recommend good finding birds
guides for Western and Southern Australia?  Currently we have the
John Bransbury book "Where to find Birds in Australia". 
It is a good overview book, but parts are pretty dated (it was first
published in 1987).  It would be nice to have more specific and
up-to-date book(s).

Cheers,

Mark
