Australia has almost 340 endemic bird species, and more than 730 endemic subspecies.
This richly illustrated book guides birdwatchers to the country’s most species-rich areas, the 55 ‘megaspots’ – places where key endemics can be found. It is designed as both a reference and information guide to help plan a successful birding trip to sites where multiple species can be viewed.
Detailed descriptions of each site cover – how to get to the site – any fees payable or permits required – facilities and nearby services – GPS coordinates – an overview of the site – birding tracks and trails – key species – two important species per site – the available accommodation.

“Australians have a strong affinity with their unique environment and wildlife. I hope this book inspires you to observe Australian birds in their natural habitats and to preserve the areas where they live. Their protection is in our hands and I commend the authors of Australia’s Birdwatching Megaspots for their commitment to conservation.” Dermot O
