Phil,
I've see a fair few images of BoP on Facebook - it might be worth trying to source these, either individually or as an appeal (If you haven't already done that!)
MJB

Thanks, I've had a few very helpful responses and will check out the options suggested

Hi Phil,

PM sent with images of King BoP. Sam Woods has a cracking Flame Bowerbird from 2007 I think.

Cheers

Stu

Thanks Stu, I'll try and contact Sam

Had you seen / were already aware of this?

Yes thanks, I have incorporated the information into my species account for Superb BoP, my problem is I am totally unconvinced by the shifting of the nominate so the Arfak one becomes a new species but not with superba as the scientific name! I suppose I'll have to go with it as published, so we get Arfak Bird of Paradise L. niedda, Curl-caped Bird of Paradise L. superba and Rasping Bird of Paradise L. minor Note I have abolished those hideous hyphens in bird-of-paradise and reverted to Bird of Paradise, as this was long the accepted name, I am not sure why it was changed!
