I hope to include birds from Australia and, eventually, New Zealand in this section.
To access the photos, please click on the species below that you wish to see. Clicking on the thumbnail photos will generate a
larger photo.
If you wish to scroll through the pages just press the appropriate button at the foot of each page.
In order to help regular readers, I have noted the date of posting or most recent update for each species.
In December 2014, I changed the taxonomic order for the Non-Passerines to that used by the HBW and Birdlife international Illustrated Checklist of the Birds of the World, Volume 1. I have also
adopted both the English and scientific names used by that publication.
