WIN! BIRDS OF NEW ZEALAND: A PHOTOGRAPHIC GUIDE
From remote, country bush to our own backyards, New Zealand is blessed by a plethora of native birds.
Perhaps none appreciates this better than senior curator of natural history at Canterbury Museum, Paul Scofield.
“New Zealand is truly a land of birds, with no naturally occurring terrestrial mammals,” he says. “Birds are the commonest wild animals that New Zealanders will see outdoors – in the bush, taking the dog for a walk or going to the beach.
“When our national parks and recreation facilities are put together and designed, birds are more taken into account than anything else and increasingly tourism is benefitting from our endemic birdlife.”
In his new book, Birds of New Zealand: a Photographic Guide, Paul draws on the latest information from birders and biologists, producing a definitive introduction to the identification and behaviour of this country’s extraordinary avian life.
Birds of New Zealand features all birds that occur naturally, those that have established wild populations and rare visitors. Each entry is dedicated to a single species, with an introduction, photographs, a distribution map.
Complete with stunning photographs by Brent Stephenson, this book is a must have for those with an interest in New Zealand birds or photography.
