Description: Australia - a land of birds... rivalling any other continent in the range and diversity of its avifauna. There are an estimated 750 species of birds found in Australia. Four hundred are confined to its shores, whilst hundreds of species migrate with the change of the seasons. Filmed by the internationally acclaimed Geo Productions, this documentary features spectacular images of some of the most striking and idiosyncratic Australian feathered species. Covering everything from enormous Emus to tiny Emuwrens, laughing Kookaburras to carolling Magpies, exotic Parrots to birds of prey, the collection bursts with colour, movement and beautiful scenery. Featuring a fact rich commentary, this collection will serve as both an entertaining insight into the Australian avian world and as a handy reference guide for students and enthusiasts.
