What Bird Is That? By Neville W Cayley, Australia’s Heritage Publishing, $69.95
First published in 1931, What Bird Is That? became a standard for budding Australian bird watchers.
Author Neville Cayley’s impetus was to encourage and inspire people to appreciate and recognise our natural bird life and what started as his “little bird book” fast become a classic and an indispensable family reference book.
In the age of the internet reference books are waning which is why this 800-page Signature Edition which incorporates Cayley’s wonderfully detailed illustrations and updated information on new species, is the perfect gift for anyone who likes to hang out in the garden and ponder ‘what bird is that?’.
