        Rosemary Bell was recently kind enough to recommend to my attention  "A 
Guide to the Birds of East Africa" by Nicholas Drayson.  It is a novel based 
around birding activities in East Africa (or at least Kenya).  I found it 
extremely enjoyable: many of the characters reminded me very much of some we 
met in Dar es Salaam and the birdnig elements quite accurate. It is available 
through the ACT Library Servce and I recommend it to any of you who enjoy 
reading light-hearted books about birding competitions and/or have an interest 
in East Africa.
