Hi Mike
Dick Watling's guide sounds like the way to go, thanks. Yes, I am an SDA and
am off to the SDA youth congress, cant wait!! I think it will be fairly full
on, so I don't suppose I'll get heaps of time to go looking for our avian
friends, but just in case I do I'd like to be armed! No doubt I'll be the
only one there with binos permanently around my neck!! :-)
Thanks again
Nina :-)
Dear Nina
The best book available for Fiji and the rest of Polynesia is Watling, Dick,
A guide to the Birds of Fiji and Western Polynesia. It was produced by
Sprep in Samoa and I am sure Andrew Isles could sell it to you over the
internet. Dick lives in Fiji still and would be a good contact for where to
go.
It is 30 years since I worked at Fulton College though I went back twice in
the 1980's to do research on swiftlets. I can tell you some interesting
places but I do not know if you can still get to them or how you would get
there. The Fiji Museum used to put out a cheap book just on the birds of
Fiji by Fergus Clunie. But he has also left Fiji (at the time of the
Coups).
I presume you are an SDA and going to the SDA youth congress?
All the best
Mike
