No I've let it drop for a bit. I had a computer crash which means I have to cut and paste the whole post and put it back into the mind-map i generated it it in order to have a fighting change of editing it successfully. One day I'll feel compelled to do it, but its about 25 pages of code!

Jane Turner · Tuesday 23rd August 2005, 21:46

ok.. the map is reconstructed and I've even added in a few of the more interesting recent threads. It will take eons to track back to April 2004 to catch all the best threads, but I will. Evenually. In the mean time, if people know of any particuarly useful ones, please let me know and I'll add them.

Hello Jane,

What about this one?I think it's quite informative.

http://www.birdforum.net/showthread....864#post416864

Cheers,

Dimitris.

Jane Turner · Saturday 24th September 2005, 09:52

It's in my local version and will be included in here next time I edit. Thanks.

Jane

THis seems a great idea - but it only allows for one thread per species? I think someone should just write a module to automate this task.

Automation would be nice. There are many links per species.

I have a problem - I need to confirm the ID of a Warbler photographed on passage here in
Bahrain - The link to view the pictures of the bird is as follows
http://www.hawar-islands.com/swarbler.html

Jane Turner · Monday 13th March 2006, 15:50

I'll start a new thread on this - I thought icterops for what its worth

Bonsaibirder · Tuesday 14th March 2006, 13:05

Hi Jane,

There was a short thread on Beaudouin's Snake Eagle (I think thread 30878) with a very nice photo and some ID tips. You might want to include it in your Index (which is great by the way!).

I couldn't find it by searching Forums for "Beaudouin's" but if you put in "Eagle" and "Gambia" it should come up!

Cheers,

Saddinall

Jane Turner · Wednesday 29th March 2006, 17:46

Thanks - it should be there in the next update.

Testing the link here

Beaudoin's Snake Eagle

Howard King · Wednesday 29th March 2006, 22:55

Keep up the good work Jane - I admire your dedication and the end result
So here is the latest ID problem from Bahrain A Wheatear - It has been posted on the networks but I got only a few replies - ALL DIFFERENT bar two
See for your self and great pictures as well -- thanks to Juhani Kyyrö for them

Jane Turner · Thursday 31st August 2006, 15:57

I've just updated the index again. If I've missed any threads where people have taken time to explain ID's, especially tricky ones, or I've missed any unusual/new species (these will mostly be SE Asian and African species) let me know. If the latter also give me a clue in which section to put it!

JRE · Saturday 2nd September 2006, 11:10

It's incredible what you're doing Jane. Superb job.

wolfbirder · Thursday 7th September 2006, 17:14

...agreed . Wonder if it could all be published in a book. i would buy it. Best identification guide around!

Jane Turner · Tuesday 12th September 2006, 21:27

the bad news is that I left the latest version with a shedload of updates in Manilla on my external drive. Hopefully its being FEDEXed to me!

Jane Turner · Wednesday 29th November 2006, 18:08

Another update just gone in. Let me know if I missed any important discussions

Howard King · Thursday 30th November 2006, 03:21

Greeting

I have on my web page (Bahrain Bird Report) seperated out several problematic photos of various species that have been submitted to me - I have them on the following page

>http://www.hawar-islands.com/blog/id_stub.php

Some have been identified but others remain undecided feel free to browse and send me you comments my contacts are on the home page of the site.

HI Rebeca. Thanks and welcome to BF

Ben M · Tuesday 7th August 2007, 21:43

The Common versus Honey Buzzard link goes to a thread about dark Merlin for me?

Jane Turner · Wednesday 8th August 2007, 08:49

Thanks... that will be a b*****r to relocate!

KenM · Wednesday 2nd January 2008, 17:20

Jane Hi.
Although I never saw the 'Chinatown' warbler, would I be right in assuming that it's jizz on occasion as it moved through the canopy was more Phyllosc like as opposed to the forward thrusting of say Reed Warbler?. I've already examined one of the early best right to left facing images in the birch tree and I'm fairly certain that I have an ID. Have had a lot of experience looking up into the canopy at bland looking Hippos/Acros within the urban setting. It Would be a lot more expedient for me to qualify my reasons by telephone as opposed to the ebb and flow of forums.

Regards Ken

Natureboy44 · Friday 30th May 2008, 01:45

Thanks Jane,

I'm new to this sight, but know I'll be back to your index. Nice work!

Tim100 · Friday 25th September 2009, 11:53

I don't post much but would like to say what a great idea for a thread!

Must have taken ages to copy/paste all those links!!!
