Georgia Angus Writer – 100 Australian Birds

Arts, Books, Literature

100 Australian Birds is a beginner’s guide to the world of birdwatching. From the outside, this strange hobby of
birdwatching appears to consist of sizeable camera lenses, khaki pants that are pulled up too high, and gruelling
treks in pursuit of rare bird species. But for those who haven’t been scared off by jumbo field guides and excessive
terminology, this book is for you.
Carefully tailored to guide birdwatchers anywhere in Australia, this book reveals insights into one hundred key
native specieswith lush illustrations and accessible descriptions. As well as the author’s original illustrations, there
are distribution maps, identification methods, behavioral information and contributions from First Nations people on
Taungurung, Gumbaynggirr and Wiradjuri names for particular birds.
100 Australian Birds is for anyone interested in birds, culture, history or our environment, but without the geekspeak.
