Hi there birders, Received the new atlas in the post today. Can't believe that I might be the first to comment on it!!!!! First impressions: A very impressive publication Very well bound Beautiful cover design. Very clearly laid out, easy to use, easy to find things. One negative: The illustrations leave something to be desired - OK it's not meant to be an identification guide but at least some artists could have made more effort than what appears to be a five minute sketch - yes, they probably slaved over them for days but some look decidedly amateurish. The Diamond Firetail illustration looks like it could have been traced from a book by one of my Year 3 students. Harsh words, but really, some of my students may have done better. Overall, though, 9.5/10 for a much awaited publication. Happy browsing, Trevor Hampel Murray Bridge SA Birding-Aus is now on the Web at www.birding-aus.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe birding-aus" (no quotes, no Subject line) to |
