A Life with the Birds of Tasmania
Els Wakefield
Forty South Publishing
Hardcover
As one of Tasmania’s most experienced birders, Els Wakefield has a remarkable eye for detail and an exceptional ability to convey a bird’s distinguishing characteristics. Her book is both a memoir of a lifetime exploring and learning about the natural environment, and a compendium of Lutruwita/Tasmania’s extraordinary birds.
Els’ travels in search of birds have taken her from the sub-Antarctic Islands and Antarctica to the Arctic and many places in between, including Hawaii, the Galapagos and the Amazon jungle. The resulting book contains over a thousand photos of Tasmanian birds, both male and female in their various plumages. As such, it is an essential companion for anyone who loves birding and wants to deepen their knowledge of how to look for birds occurring in Lutruwita/Tasmania.
