Birds of Tasmania

Birds of Tasmania brings together a stunning series of bird illustrations produced by Susan Lester in the 1980s.

In the tradition of the folio volumes by significant bird artists of the Victorian age, many of the paintings are reproduced as full-page colour-plate illustrations and are supported with historical commentary, including the original accompanying notes written by ornithologist and curator Dr Bob Green.

The ten sections within the book cover: Tasmanian Endemics, Open Ocean, Water/Wetlands, Resident Shorebirds, Migratory Shorebirds, Birds of Prey, Parrots/Cockatoos, Nocturnal, Woodlands/Songbirds and Introduced Birds.
