    Australian field guides - a bit of a review.

    Since no one else has replied, I'll add a comment. I think they've done an excellent job on the concise edition, in terms of making it very small but still maintaining large illustrations. It includes all the species they regard as residents or at least annual visitors to Australia, which I...

    Best bird guides by region...Australasia?

    I just messaged one of the authors and he's not aware of anything having been updated! I don't disagree with you about market saturation. I guess it's always possible to put together a new photo guide relatively quickly and cheaply, but it's hard to imagine anyone doing a new set of plates for...

    Directional mic for iPhone?

    Coming rather late to this, I've had a Rode VideoMic Me for a while. I use it with an extender to get around the issue with phone cases. I can't claim to have done much in the way of rigorous comparisons. Overall I'd say the main advantage compared to going without an external mic is from...

    Best bird guides by region...Australasia?

    If you have a look inside the cover of the current Australian Bird Guide you will see it too is divided up into marine and coastal, freshwater and land birds sections. So I am not sure anything is changing. And this is exactly the order which was praised in an earlier post as "Finally a...
