註釋New Zealand: Land of Birds captures brilliantly the grandeur and variety of many of New Zealand's birds and the wide diversity of environments in which they live, feed and breed.An informative introduction deals with the evolution of many of the species, followed by the impact on them caused through the arrival of the Maori and then the European settlers and their subsequent clearance of the land. Eight chapters, comprising over 150 full-colour photographs and an informative text, range over the various landscapes in which many birds may be found. These include the coast and selected offshore islands; tidal estuaries, mangroves and lagoons; migrant wading bird habitats; fresh water wetlands (lakes, swamps and rivers); rural landscapes; forests; high country; and urban landscapes.
