Just received my copy of "A Guide To Bird Habitats in NSW" by
Richard Cooper and Ian McAllan. It provides an excellent description and clear
photographs of all the birds habitats that you are likely to encounter
throughout NSW. It describes all the habitats from Offshore waters, off
Continental shelf and Urban areas to Sub-tropical Rainforest and Spinifex
plains. It goes into detail on the difference between tall mallee (>3 metres)
and short mallee (<3metres) and the various types of woodlands (eg) Box,
Ironbark, Wilga, Casuarina etc. This book will no doubt be an
invaluable aid in helping to identify the habitats in which you see your
birds. In addition it lists typical examples of birds for each habitat.
For both Richard and Ian, a job well done and well worth the
wait!!!
