[QUOTE="Poor Birding World, post: 1718290, member: 81935"] Obviously, there are compelling arguments from both sides of the debate. Personal preference. Surely all that matters is that the plates and descriptions are of a high standard? I would not get too picky about having to flick back through a few pages to find something. As one with an interest in systematics, I find it a little reactionary of some to bemoan the placement of birds in a guide being moved around. The changes are not all that radical after all and the purpose of science is to advance our knowledge is it not? [/QUOTE]
