Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages have sunned.

A Naturalist's Australia. This is a collection of Graham Pizzey's newspaper articles published over five decades. The topics range from weather to rivers to birds to quokkas... anecdote-based, sometimes quirky and philosophical reflections on nature.

Pizzey recounts a camping trip and talks about how many species of birds he counted: a male spider gobbled up by a female straight after mating; a snake swallowing a small animal; he lies in a muddy hollow for several hours, camera poised, waiting for a nightjar to return to its chick.

And true to form, Pizzey keeps reminding us of the need for biodiversity, the urgency of conserving natural habitat, and the joys and spiritual aspects of nature.
