This is a handy glove box guide to birds on farms with a particular emphasis on North West Tasmania. The guide is a first for Tasmania because it highlights birds as an indicator of landscape health, and has practical guidelines on landscape design and habitat management for birds. There are about 90 birds listed, each illustrated with a painting and information on food, key habitat requirements, appearance, breeding and behaviour.

It is bound with an easy-to-open spiral spine, and has sturdy well set out pages.

Books are $10 plus postage, and may be purchased from Carolyn Donaghey on 6445 1025.
