"Shorebirds of Australia" by Geering, Lindsay and Harding has some
general information. A book titled "Shorebirds in Australia" by Brett
Lane is good if you can find a copy. There are several excellent
overseas field guides but do not know of a book on general biology and
ecology of shorebirds.
Years ago I bought a second hand book called "Seabirds their biology and
ecology" by Nelson. It was and still is a good read and insight into
seabirds and puts them better in perspective when on a pelagic trip. A
similar book for shorebirds would be interesting.

Subject: shorebird/wader books
I have recently read Life on lands edge, about Roebuck Bay, Broome and
also
a british based book, wader behaviour, both of which were very
informative.
what I am wondering is people can recommend a book(s) that covers
shorebirds in australia in terms of their life here as well as at their
breeding grounds. Natural history prose rather than scientific
writing
would be preferable but either will do.
Reading these other books turned waders more into living birds for me
rather
than dots in a mass on a beach and also assisted me in noticing their
feeding behaviour.
thanks for any info.
Gary
