Lars Svensson and I are searching for images of eastern races of ALPINE ACCENTOR: P. o. subalpina (SE Europe to S Turkey) and P. o. montana (N & E Turkey to Central Asia).
We like to conceder the image of montana photographed by you in Turkey
Also, if you know any one that visited Turkey, Georgia etc and have some good images for consideration for use in the HWPB? Any Turkish photographer too? Please copy this to others, or send me a link or name and email address, this will be much appreciate.
The images are for the long waited and forthcoming HWPB (="Shirihai, H. & Svensson, L. in prep. Handbook of Western Palearctic Birds. A & C Black. London") and which we are working on, i.e. now doing the final image selection for the first volume (passerines). As you may know in this book Lars and I have described all species ID, all races and all the plumage variation on fresh.
We have c. 400 photographers that contribute for the collection and we have nearly everything, and now trying fill the gaps...
