Morcombe Field Guide

[Bob Rusk <>]

Chris.

I would I would strenuously advise against it, or if you do never let your fellow birders know. I say this in all seriousness as I believe it could be extremely detrimental to their healthy.  I have a good friend who has the download and when he produces his Ipod to compare the plumage differences of say the Rufous and the Golden Whistler and then with a quick "poke" at the screen can listen to the different calls or any other call you can poke a stick at. Now I believe myself to be honest and mild mannered man but when he produces "THE POD" an intense green mist envelopes me, making me covet my neighbours goods. I begin to harbour injurious thoughts towards him and should some accident befall him where only THE POD or he could be saved, then realistically some friendships, tragically, do come to an end and I would then ask forgiveness every time I dialled some bird up.

PS- Even the drawings look better when looking through the green mist,

Hi, for anyone who may have received an iPod, iPhone or iPad for Christmas you may be interested to log onto iTunes, and search for 'Australian birds'.  You will find the latest Morcombe Field Guide for $37.00 that can be down-loaded.  Apparently it comes with calls.

 

This has to be the start of the end to Field Guides as we know them.
