It's nice when you learn something new isn't it? I do have a book on Australian birds, I probably should use it more, especially since I actually enjoy watching birds.

Dave, your probably like me, I used to love a spot of bird "watching", not the serious type, just oberving them whilst bushwalking, and being aware of what native birds are in my garden/general area, seeing an strage bird and checking the book.

Yup. That's me. I don't do much bush walking these days, but it was something that I enjoyed doing when I was younger. When my best mate got married, it all sort of died.
A good book I've found helpful is Simpson & Day's "Field Guide to the Birds of Australia". Am by no means a birder but it's a great resource to take away, fits nicely in the glove box too
I've got an old copy of Simpons book, but have a new version of Graham Pizzey & Frank Knight's 'the field guide to the birds of australia'. Much recommended.
