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 426 bird species (of which 12 were observed elsewhere), with 413 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 . 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. Credits to contributors are given here.
