Re: The Geographical Variation of Southern African Birds

I remember Laine and I saw the draft of this book in Hugh Chittenden's house whilst birding Zululand a couple of years ago. Glad to see that it will be released soon. big_smile

Re: The Geographical Variation of Southern African Birds

If Kalahari.net had it on pre-order, it would be in my basket by now - I think this is one of the most exiting books to come out in a while.

Re: The Geographical Variation of Southern African Birds

Yes, this is very cool. Thank goodness its my b-day at the end of the month. big_smilebig_smile

I have been using Roberts to split my photographs into the various sub-species until now, but it will be nice to actually see the differences of these species with illustrations.

Re: The Geographical Variation of Southern African Birds

I had the pleasure of putting the book to test in the field up in "Nam", where the paler race of just about everything resides. It really is an excellent resource - the guys with me said no ways is that a Red-capped Lark - but it was, the spleniata subspecies!
