The result of many years of pain staking fieldwork, the book contains more than 360 photographs and is the first photographic field guide to the birds of New Zealand. The information in the book includes both common and up-to-date scientific names, together with descriptions of each bird's habitat, distribution, physical characteristics, voice, diet and breeding habits. Where relevant, plumage differences between the sexes are illustrated. A glossary and a helpful section on bird watching equipment complete an invaluable field guide that no bird watcher, tramper, nature enthusiast or photographer will want to be without.
