A bestseller revised: the new edition of this essential reference for identifying New Zealand birds features its biggest update ever.
Exquisite water color plates of NZ birds! This is a compact, sturdy, beautifully-designed, albeit pricey [indeed!] field-worthy bird guide. It provides excellent field information for most all New Zealand species. The Derek Onley plates are such exquisite and unique water-color renderings that many, as separate prints, would surely be worthy of framing. This lovely and highly informative NZ bird guide deserves 5 stars, in my opinion, both because of its easy field utility and as a natural history book-collector’s acquisition.
Best available Except for a few recent vagrants, this field guide thoroughly covers the birds of New Zealand: well-illustrated with good descriptions and fine distribution maps, a good index, island maps on the inside covers and a waterproof jacket. The guide also devotes six pages to the key places to visit in New Zealand. I was surprised at its small size 6″ x 8.8″ x 0.5″, but then pleased with how much is packed into a book that is easy to carry in the field.
looks the perfect bird guide for travelling Handy and at the same time exhaustive, looks the perfect bird guide for travelling!
