Re: Eurasian bird handbook

["Greg Davies" <greg@nfi.museum>]

Sounds like you're thinking of Stanley Cramp et al.'s nine volume BWP ---  
"Birds of the Western Palaearctic" (Oxford University Press).

The only other contender would be von Blotzheim's "Handbuch der Vogel 
Mittel-Europas".

Regards,

Greg.

Subject: Eurasian bird handbook


A query for the ornithologists on this list:

I'm trying to recall the name of a handbook series for Eurasian birds that 
was done in the same style as HANZAB (and if you don't know what HANZAB is, 
you probably can't answer my question anyway  :-)

Can anybody tell me the title or authors of this series?

thanks
