Hi everyone
Keep Calm … and read on. This isn’t about bird hunting! It’s about a book.
*In September, 2010, retired school principal Gary Oliver set off on a 12-month Challenge to break the record for photographing the most Australian bird species in a single year. With his support team of one (wife, Glenda) they clocked up over 55,000 kms and visited every state and territory.*
This week sees the official release of Gary’s book about the quest, “Birdshoot Australia”. It documents the trip, the successul capturing of 518 species on film, and of course has many of those photos included. You can find out more about the book and the journey on Gary’s website:

I haven’t yet seen the book myself but I’m hoping to get a couple of copies for our libraries in Geelong.
Regards

I would guess that John Weigel will easily break that – he seems to have photos of most of the 729 (so far) species that he has seen. But even 518 is pretty impressive – it’s much easier to see a bird than to get a good photo of it!
