Hardback edition in very good condition. Published in 1988. Geoff Moon is recognised as one of the world's outstanding photographers of bird life. This superb collection of more than 350 New Zealand birds is his personal selection. While the book largely comprises his own work, this is complemented by contributions from a number of other fine photographers. This book is a detailed photographic study of native and introduced birds inhabiting mainland New Zealand, the Chathams and offshore islands. Only rare stragglers have been excluded. In the accompanying text, which gives a comprehensive survey of the bird fauna, Geoff has given detailed descriptions from his personal observations. He has captured in words, as well as on film, many little-known aspects of bird behaviour. Bird lovers will find this a book to treasure and a valuable addition to their library.
