Beach Birds Children's Book

The latest beautiful installment in Bridget Farmer's series of Australian bird books - The Beach Birds.

A journey of twelve riddles for readers to guess which Australian native bird, commonly found on beaches, estuaries and coastal areas, is being depicted. Lift the hidden flap on each double page to discover the answer.

Gentle illustrations are all created by Bridget from dry point etchings hand coloured with watercolour paints.

Bridget's hope is that by interacting with the riddles and illustrations readers will soon familiarise themselves with these beautiful birds and find enjoyment in seeking them out while at the beach.

Information about each bird can be found at the back, as well as a few tips for birding and helping with identifying your spottings.
