Not for Australia but the US by Richard Crossley. He has taken pictures and 
habitats of birds and put them into a page digitally as they would be seen in 
the field.

I am quite impressed with the approach of images of birds as they would appear 
in the field, to get a grasp of their "jizz" etc.

 

The page below shows an example of an Upland Sandpiper and if you scroll 
forwards and back you can see other birds. I like the Black Scoter page.

Can any one see the potenial for a field guide like this for Australia.
