First published in 1994, The Complete Guide to Finding the Birds of Australia was the first ever book of its type in Australia - a complete guide to locating every resident bird species in Australia, plus supplementary information on where to find rarities, migratory species and logistical information.

This fully revised second edition expands on the best-selling appeal of the first, describing the best-known sites for all of Australia's endemic birds, plus vagrants and regular migrants such as seabirds and shorebirds. It covers all states and territories, and is the first guide to include all of Australia's island and external territories. A comprehensive Bird Finder Guide details site information on all Australian bird species, and the authors provide valuable travel advice, including transport, climate and accommodation.

Profusely illustrated with colour photographs of interesting, unique or unusual Australian birds, this book is a must-have for all birdwatchers living in Australia or visiting from overseas.

Richard Thomas

Richard and Sarah Thomas moved to Canberra, Australia, so Richard could take up a Post-Doctoral position at the Australian National University. During their 4 years in Australia, Richard and Sarah travelled widely throughout the continent, recording a large number of endemic species. When they left Australia in 1994, Richard was credited with holding the biggest Australian list for a non-resident. Today the couple live near Cambridge, UK, but regularly travel abroad birding. Sarah manages the Royal Society of Chemistry's international development program in Asia, while Richard is Communications Co-ordinator for TRAFFIC: the wildlife trade monitoring network.
