The Gouldian finch: the world's most beautiful finch.

Stock ID 44259 The Gouldian finch: the world's most beautiful finch. Col Roberts.

2021. Quarto, dustwrapper, colour photographs.

Col Roberts is regarded as one of the world's leading bird, fishing and landscape photographers and has published six highly regarded coffee table books on these subjects. His previous book 'Finches of Australia' was a huge success and the first edition sold out quickly before being re-printed.

The author was the first person in the world to photograph and publish all of Australia's finch species and subspecies. Now, with his latest work, readers can enjoy stunning and unique photography of the Gouldian Finch, regarded as the world's most beautiful finch, and the breathtaking environment in which it lives. The author's love of the Kimberley and Northern Territory - coincidentally the main habitat of the Gouldian - is quite apparent in his image taking.

Many of the images record behaviour that has never been captured before on camera. This has only come about by the author being prepared to spend years in the field in often hot and oppressive conditions in all seasons to capture 'hard to get images.' Like his previous tome on Australian finches, the author has limited the amount of text, allowing his photographs to be the main feature of the book. This book will be a 'must have' for any person with an interest in Australian birds, and particularly finches.
