Birds of Australia
Aboriginal: "dhigaraa" [gamilaraay],
"ghigayaa" [yuwaalaraay] = bird
In total there are about 850 bird species
in Australia, including its coastal waters and surrounding
islands. These pages contain our steadily growing account of
spottings and photography of Australian birds.
Currently we have information available on about
305 bird
species, with about 280 thumbnail images for
those species of which we have reasonably good photos.
Photos shown on this web site are available
FOR SALE.
The navigation bar (second tier, above) provides links to a number
of high-level pages and, in addition, to each of the 26 family
groups of birds, following the "Field Guide to Australian Birds"
by Michael
Morcombe (external link). Hovering your cursor above the
numbers, you will see which bird families each group comprises.
The scientific and common names of all bird species presented
on these pages are listed in an INDEX. There is a page
describing the structure
of the bird pages presented here.
