Birds of Australia

CLASSIFICATION TABLE	THUMBNAILS PAGE
A classification table following the "Field Guide to Australian Birds" by Michael Morcombe leads to the different classes and families and from there on to individual pages for each species. Photos of about 230 species are available as of March 2008.	The thumbnails page provides easy access to information on birds for which we have the best available photos (i.e., if you know what they look like, but don't know how to find them via the classification table). About 140 thumbnails are available as of March 2008.
If in doubt where to find a bird, please type its name in the window of the search facility (lower left, in the navigation bar) and click on "Search".	Click on a thumbnail image to view a larger version of that image (or a similar one); click on the bird's name to go to the page describing it, with all available photos and other information.

NEWS (apart from the continuous upgrade of pages and photos):

Date Change

17/04/2008 First photos of Varied Sitella now available, plus photos of a female Fan-tailed Cuckoo and an immature Yellow-tufted Honeyeater.

20/03/2008 We are just back from a trip to outback NSW and South Australia. News on bird sightings and photos are incrementally posted here.

29/02/2008 First photos (in captivity) of Red-tailed Cockatoos and Major Mitchell's Cockatoos are now available, together with improved photos of Painted Honeyeaters and first photos of Cattle Egrets. They, together with other birds populating inland waterways, are currently still busy nesting.

18/02/2008 For many birds living in the bush in the Narrabri area the breeding season is over since the substantial rainfall in the first two weeks of February. The male Rufous Songlarks do not fly around any longer marking their territories and other, otherwise fiercely territorial, birds have been seen by us hunting on the lawn around the house together. Willie Wagtails, Magpie-larks, Grey Butcherbirds, Pied Butcherbirds and Australian Magpies were all observed by us together in close proximity.

Here some more information about nomenclature, photographic equipment used by us, etc.
