'Shorebirds of Australia' Andrew Geering et al, CSIRO Publishing. I've
only just received it, and haven't had (and won't have for some time) a
chance to use it, but it looks good. It covers all of the 'core' of
Charadriiformes, ie waders, plovers etc, painted snipe (sigh), stone
curlews, stilts/avocet, oystercatchers, Plains Wanderer, pratincoles and
jacana. Good field guide section, double page per species; I especially
like the extensive Similar Species section for each! Also chapters on
evolution, ecology, migration and conservation.
cheers
Ian
