New Comoros guide (1 Viewer)

[Markus Lagerqvist]

Out now: Hawlitschek, Oliver, Rémy, Eudeline and Rouillé, Antoine:
"Terrestrial fauna of the Comoros Archipelago / Faune Terrestre de l'Archipel des Comores"

Bilingual photographic field giude that covers birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, chelicerates, myriapods, crustaceans, insects, molluscs and flatworms.
Short introductary chapters on the islands and sites.

Would be a very nice complement to bring with the bird guide when visiting the Comoros.

We would love to have one of your photos for the gallery and the Opus here in Birdforum!

Don't think so, there are 2 photos of Frances's Sparrowhawk, one is griveaudi, but doesn't say which ssp the other is.
