Betty Temple Watts (1901-1992) developed an interest in birds in her early married life while living in Iran and Papua New Guinea. However, it was not until she was 48 and settled in Melbourne that she decided to immerse herself in her bird art. This book allows readers a glimpse into Betty's joyous world of birds. Along with a biography of her life, there are full-colour reproductions of 60 plates, allowing close-ups of individual birds.
