A pleasant surprise finding your site! Could you add a bird identification forum? I have a screamingly frustrating siting which nobody has been able to shed any light on (even at Birdlife offices) and I don't consider myself an amateur when it comes to identifying bird's or their calls. A foru would be nice to point people like myself in the right direction and to pit our skills at other birder;s ID dilemnas. Thanks for a great site!

Great to see your book(s) have now been published - well done. I was actually searching for details on the bird survey in Namibia where they used the local indigenous people, armed with a visual identification unit linked to GPS, to basically press a but on when the bird they were viewing matched that on their handheld computer (one press for each individual they see). The info. would then be transferred via GPS and the data collated. Apparently, University of Cape Town were conducting the survey, so if you know to whom I should contact I'll be grateful. All the best, Jason Personal e-mail: pelagicus@stormies.enterprise-plc.com
