This ultimate ‘where to watch’ bird-finding guide to the area is essential reading for resident or visiting birders who want to catch up with the most sought-after species. It describes the most interesting birding sites in NSW and ACT, with an emphasis on those which hold the best birds and are easily accessible. Descriptions of each birding site include details of habitat and site facilities, precise directions of how to get to there and to any important locations within the site, and details of key bird species. The guide also covers Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands with their many specialities such as Lord Howe Woodhen and Norfolk Island Parakeet. Arranged region-by-region, in total the book covers more than 500 sites, with many maps and images accompanying the detailed text. Often special birds – whether Rockwarbler, Australian Logrunner, Paradise Riflebird, Noisy Pitta, Swift Parrot and many many more – receive even more exact directions in order to help birders track down species which might be rare, localised or difficult to find
