Gardens - places of earthly delight - can offer both owners and visitors the opportunity to make closer connections with nature. Birds, with their songs, their colours and their antics, can add a whole new dimension of entertainment. Following the runaway success of his Field Guide to Australian Birds, Graham Pizzey, the nations's leading bird authority and naturalist, shares with us the art and enjoyment of drawing birds into our gardens. Complementing chapters on how to select and grow bird-attracting flora (including the 500 best Australian bird plants), photos of plants and gardens, plans of nest-boxes and bird-baths and detailed tips on providing water and food is a comprehensive reference section showing 200 native garden birds, exquisitely illustrated by bird artist Frank Knight. the text summarises key information for the gardener - the favoured location (with maps) and the food of each species, its habits and seasonal patterns, what to listen for, and how best to foster the health and well-being of our fine, feathered friends. Never before has so much expert information been so beautifully and clearly presented to the bird-loving gardener. Graham Pizzey has extraordinary depth of knowledge. A keen conservationist, he writes superbly on a topic that is dear to his heart.
