ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Talitha Huston loves nature and cares deeplu about the environment. She started taking photographs when she was three years old with her first Panasonic camera. When Talitha was 14 she bought a Nikon Coolpix  B700 and discovered bird photography. She spent hours in the bush, filming and photographing the birds in her backyard and surrounding areas. It was when she had so many bird photos that she realised that we didn't have a local bird book for the Perth Hills and thought she should create one. Talitha did hours of research, hand painted bird distribution maps, created her own 'Skittish' rating and included tips on photographing each bird. The book was launched at the Blue Sky Festival in Mundaring in March 2021 and 200 books were sold in a week. By April 2024, 7000 had been sold.
