Title: Not as Comprehensive as Michael Marcombe's Guide but Worthwhile if You Can't Get That
Review: I work at David Fleay Wildlife Park on the Gold Coast and would have to say that although this book is good, I would actually recommend A Field Guide to Australian Birds by Michael Marcombe in preference to this. These books are very similar and both have colourful illustrations which make identifying a bird in your backyard or in a photograph you took on holidays simple and easy. Both also have information about the birds. Marcombe's guide just has a more comprehensive coverage so you are less likely to be disappointed that you cannot identify a particular bird if you get that great reference book instead. However if you can't get that one or you can't get it at a good price then you won't go wrong with Pizzey's Field Guide.
