# Let the Bird Watching Begin

<sub>Simpson & Day's Field Guide to the Birds of Australia: *Protective cover (left) and dust jacket (right)*</sub>

---

Recently, I made a post and mentioned I was looking for my 'bird-watching' book. 

Well, despite being buried underneath boxes of clutter, I'm pleased to say that I've now found that book.  

*The Simpson & Day **Field Guide to the Birds of Australia** is one of the main national bird field guides used by Australian birders, which over the years has evolved through several revised and updated editions.* [src](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_Guide_to_the_Birds_of_Australia_(Simpson_%26_Day)#cite_note-pb-1)

The copy I have is an 8th Edition, printed in 2010 which is also the last edition listed and I think there would be an online database that holds this information today. 

And while I love the internet, there is no match for the convenience of opening a book and being able to hold it in your hands - unless it's buried under clutter, of course..!

Anyhoo, watch this space for some new bird-watching posts... and if I'm really patient, (and quiet) I might even be able to snag a decent photo or two... lol

Yes, I agree... here in Canberra, I was told they have 'bird-watching boxes' in some of the national parks - I haven't visited them myself but I'd also like to have a very long lens with me when I do.
