Dear B-A,
For those who may be considering a birding trip to Nepal or the Himalaya region
in general, this may be a useful resource.
Cheers,

> I'm passing on this good news from Carol Inskipp. Carol and Tim Inskipp are

> have now made this freely available on the Internet (hosted by Mark Turin's
> Digital Himlaya website).

> This is a significant resource and Carol and Tim are to be congratulated and

> conservation is hidden away in old, out-of-print publications and unpublished
> 'grey' literature. The Internet is the ideal medium for making this
> information more readily available. This can, however, entail a lot of work,
> scanning printed documents into pdf files or (even better) using Optical

> encourage anyone who has the opportunity to do the same for other countries
> in the region and publicise the resulting websites via OB.
