Brings together the latest information about the behavior and biology of waders and how they are distributed on the Australian coast. Early chapters deal with basic aspects of the taxonomy and biology of waders. As the majority of waders are long distance travelers and only spend a portion of their life cycle in Australia, much of the information presented in these chapters applies equally to waders in other parts of the world. The book then focuses on the distribution and identification of waders along the Australian coast and look at the conservation of these species.

Shorebirds of Australia describes and illustrates more than 50 species and is an essential resource for ornithologists, as well as professionals who make decisions about conservation and land use practices in the coastal environment.
