Expert Review:

Several good guides to Australian Birds are available. This one feels a bit dated, but nonetheless strikes a good balance between completeness and portability.

Coverage of vagrants and less-frequently-encountered plumages is weak. Text is extensive but the small print is unusually small and may be difficult for some users.
