Critics Review
…a superb guide to New Zealand birds and, unlike some, as strong on seabirds as on those of the forest. If you’re interested in our birdlife, either identifying the species you see or finding out more about them, this would be a wonderful book to have at home. – Jim Eagles, NZ Herald
Birds of New Zealand gives full accounts for each species, in some instances running to three or four pages. The species accounts are preceded by a family summary and each account provides identification notes; vocalisations; separation from similar species; distribution; breeding biology; biometrics; and some quite detailed taxonomic notes. – Chris Watson
With a cover image like this, you know good things will be within. – Chris Watson
