Swift, sleek, predatory and breathtakingly beautiful in action, birds of prey have always had a fascination for man. In Eagles Hawks and Falcons of Australia, David Hollands has achieved his goal of finding studying and photographing all twenty-four diurnal birds of prey in Australia. 
This comprehensive and authoritative work is divided into three sections: 
THE ESSAYS – written to capture the spirit of each bird as well as to present the ornithological facts; 
THE FIELD GUIDE – designed to summarize the facts likely to be used in the field, including many new observations previously unpublished; 
THE COLOR PLATES – over one hundred and fifty superb photographs depicting each species in a dramatic and original format, taken both at the next and in flight. 
This magnificent book is essential reading for all raptor enthusiasts and for every serious ornithologist. 
For this second edition of Eagles Hawks and Falcons of Australia, David Hollands has revised the whole text and made additions to several chapters, based on recent field expeditions. The color sections have been expanded to make room for a number of new photographs. 
This new edition of Eagles Hawks and Falcons of Australia comes after a long period of being out-of-print. David is now retired from medical practice and working on three new titles.

Kingfishers and Kookaburras! Vibrant in color, conspicuous in activity and often hilariously raucous, these are some of the most well-known and much loved birds in Australia! Each of the ten Australian species has its own remarkably different story, brought to life in this book in a way that highlights their unique traits and individual personalities. Kingfishers and kookaburras are a versatile group. Their colors range across the spectrum. They have adapted to rivers and deserts, to wet rainforests and dry woodlands, to mangrove swamps and islands. They catch lizards, snakes and spiders on the ground, dive underwater for fish, snatch frogs in the tree canopy, and take insects in full flight. This book consists of ten essays, one on each bird, accompanied by spectacular photographs, many capturing moments of flight frozen in mid-air. Complementing the charming stories is a practical field guide section for readers intent on pursuing their own adventures in the kingfishers' realm. Also includesfield notes on the birds, accompanied by distribution maps and photography tips. This book is both a study and a celebration of kingfishers, the jewels of the Australian bush. It will be treasured by photographers, naturalists, serious ornithologists or anyone thrilled at the sight of a kingfisher!
