PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- A new book from David Hollands is a bird nerd's dream! This stunning landscape format book showcases the 25 Australian species, and features more than 400 photographs (only 50 have been published before, mostly they are new ones). As Hollands himself says, this is not a book written by a scientist, but by a dedicated naturalist, so the text is very accessible and contains personal anecdotes and observations. He shares the excitement and beauty of the raptors, both in words and of course in his glorious pictures. The best gift you can give to any birder in your life, if you don't keep it for yourself...

AUSTRALIA'S BIRDS OF PREY are exhilarating: the effortless soaring of an eagle, the kestrel's hovering precision, the electrifying pace of a hobby and the controlled glide of a harrier - often so slow, that it must surely stall? These sights so inspired David Hollands that in 1984 he wrote his first book, Eagles Hawks and Falcons of Australia.
