      What this guide covers

      Contained within this guide are condensed versions of the descriptions and illustrations from The Field Guide to the Birds of Australia by Graham Pizzey and Frank Knight. It has been prepared as a portable companion guide for ease of use in the field, with the main guide providing more detailed information on each of the relevant species.

      Species included here are those terrestrial and marine species considered to be residents or regular visitors to the region, or whose possible distribution includes the region, even though they may be recorded here only irregularly. This guide does not include species considered to be vagrant. (Information on these species is provided in The Field Guide to the Birds of Australia.)

      To help with quick identification in the field, species have been grouped by the key environs in which they are most likely to be found.
