Field Guide Photographic Update
Up-to-date Field Guide 'Wanted Photo Lists' Now Available The Field Guide editors thank everyone who has contributed photographs for
publication in the Field Guide. However, despite the overwhelming response
to previous calls for photographs, there are still a few species for which

replacement photographs. The latest lists can be downloaded from here.
