Another Helm Identification Guide which has been many years in the making is just off the press! It will apparently hit the bookshops in mid-June, have already pre-ordered my copy. Samples of the plates used in the book can be viewed over at amazon.co.uk.
As I have understood it the layout will be similar to the one used in the Cotingas and Manakins Guide? The authors have assembled a database of more than half a million records of cuckoos, which is impressive, but aim disappointed to learn that distribution maps with all their original underpinning records will not be published in the final book.
