What a near -master piece. The inclusion of the Azores?- 3rd edition maybe?Also good to see our team's small contribution with Caucasian Snowcock, where on visits to Georgia on reconnaissance expeditions several observers including ourselves noticed that the majority of field guides depicted a rather rusty looking image of this (then relatively little studied) bird, whereas in the field they appeared closer to Caspian Snowcock. The ammendments have been made and what a great plate of an incredible bird.
Needless to say, this book is a stunning piece of work- the genius being the ability to present seemingly infinite data into a beautiful, concise, accurate, accessible and understandable presentation.
I just received my copy my Amazon. It's Christmas all over again. lol.
