    A days birding in / near Mumbai

    I've got to go to MumbaI, for work, in April and it's been far too long since I was in India. Any suggestions for a day's birding in the Mumbai area would be most welcome.

    RFI some AZ birds

    I'm heading to Arizona in May and, so far, I've managed to work out sites for most of the specialities. Can anyone help with sites for Rose-throated Becard ( if they are still present ) and Five-striped Sparrow?

    Crossbills on the move?

    I've just heard Dutch counters have logged 17000 Red Crossbills moving into Holland this week. What's the chance of there being more than a few 'special' birds among them - and will the UK get any? Chris

    Free downloadable guides to some UK Beetles

    ICZN in danger?

    I'm surprised this hasn't created more publicity. The loss of a global institution for nomenclature has far reaching consequences outside of the dusty halls of academe. http://m.sciencemag.org/content/339/6122/897 Chris

    How many Trogons and Quetzals have you seen?

    As the " How many........." threads seem to have taken a summer break I thought I'd resurect them with the ultimate tropical birds ( excluding Pittas and BoP of course ). Trogons are found on three ( four ) continents and are fairly easy to see, so there should be some good lists turning up...
