Dr M F Soper has been watching and photographing New Zealand birds for more than three decades. In this definitive new book he describes all 295 living and 10 recently extinct birds recorded on New Zealand's main and offshore islands, and the outlying island groups of Kermadec, Chatham and Macquarie, the islands of the Ross Sea, and the Antarctic Ross Dependency. This book will be an essential reference work as well as a source of browsing pleasure among bird watchers both expert and amateur.
