Just received my copy of "A Guide To Bird Habitats in NSW" by
Richard Cooper and Ian McAllan of the NSW Bird Atlassers. 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!!!
