Lars Svensson, Jim Martin and I are searching for images of ad female (2ndY+) of Black Redstart for the publication of the HWPB (see below). We will be happy to conceder publishing the concerned image photographed by you.
At this stage please kindly only submit the concerned image as low-res jpeg for our ref, and please add to the file name your name, and locality and month of the year the images was taken.
Your help 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 (already in the past 10 years), 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 also aiming to cover in this work the major spectrum of plumage variation for all species with PHOTOS.
We have c. 400 photographers that contribute for the WP collection of the this book project (HWPB) and we have nearly everything, and now trying to fill the gaps... We hope you could collaborate with us.
