G'day all

The plates in most apps are the same as the book they are based on.  The 
exception I'm aware of is the iBird series which doesn't have related books and 
uses relatively unknown artists (although I reckon most of the plates are fine 
on my iPod Touch).

I've noted a bug in the Middle East guide.  There are a few species (13 that 
I've noticed) where the underlying database matches the illustration to the 
next species (see Semi-collared Flycatcher which gives the correct plate but 
the text for Nile Valley Sunbird).

Another point to note is that the India guide has no calls.  Hopefully they 
will come in a future upgrade.  The more mature guides in this series (SASOL 
Southern Africa and The Morcombe Guide) have a few extra features like 
searching on characters and the ability to limit yourself to a geographical 
region.  Again - hopefully these will come to the new apps.

As with all field guides we should send errors and bug reports to the 
publishers:

in this case.

Cheers
Steve
