From the cover blurb……
This is a book of bird appreciation, not of bird identification. If you are new to Bendigo, or new to bird-watching, this little publication is bound to stimulate your interest. As the authors point out, we share our city with a great range of birds, most of them native and many of them exhibiting extraordinary beauty.
The book does not pretend to supply a full description in the manner of some of the better known published accounts. Rather, it is simply an attempt to show, however inadequately, the great beauty of a selection of our native birds. A further modest aim is to show that, given a little foresight and empathy, it is possible for us as humans to live with our extraordinary feathered friends, to the mutual advantage of both. Like most other things, in the matter of wildlife conservation it is always preferable to start with your own back yard!
Both authors are long-term Bendigo residents and both have a great love for our feathered friends, with whom we share the urban environment.
This hard-copy book of 125 pages is now available at selected bookshops – Stoneman’s Castlemaine, Aesop’s Attic Kyneton, and Bookish in Bendigo. The book features a great range of mainly native birds with photographs in full colour and on quality paper. Enquiries via ‘contact’ form on this site.
