g'day all,
I have recently purchased a copy
of:
"Life along land's edge .. wildlife on
the shores of Roebuck Bay, Broome"
162 pages ISBN 0 7307 5540 1
Published by West Australia's Dept of
Conservation and Land Management (CALM)
Authors are Danny Rogers, Theunis Piesma, Marc
Lavalaye, Grant Pearson, Petra de Goejj,
with stunning photos by Jan van de
Kam
Copies are available from the Broome Bird
Observatory (BBO) for $39.95 + $9.00 postage
An order form is available from
PO Box 1313, Broome, WA 6725
Phone: 08 9193
5600
Fax:
08 9192

Email: m("birdsaustralia.com.au","bbo");">
I suggest the book is essential reading for all Wader/Shorebird
enthusiasts.
It is not a book that has to be read from front to back. On every
page was something I found of great interest.
The
8 Chapters are further split so it easy to look up a chosen subject by referring
to the Table of Contents.
Examples: Heat stress, Roosting on small tides, Table manners,
Wriggly worms, Songbirds in the mangroves.
I
just wished I had the book before staying at the BBO last
September
Regards
Bob Forsyth, Mount Isa, NW Qld.
ps Have I overlooked BA publicity re the availability of
this book ?
