Other highlights: a major new Collins field guide, and Inglorious, Mark Avery's forthright case for a ban on driven grouse shooting; an interview with Jack Skuse of Ambios Ltd, educational charity and NHBS supplier, and our guide to hand nets; and don't miss this edition's equipment highlight, the Reconyx HyperFire HC600, the make of trail camera hacked by researchers in the Malay Peninsula studying melanistic leopards.

Collins Field Guide to the Birds of South America: Passerines: From Sapayoa to Finches
Collins Field Guide to the Birds of South America: Passerines: From Sapayoa to Finches
The new Collins Field Guide to the Birds of South America: Passerines: From Sapayoa to Finches identifies nearly 2000 species of passerine, to be found south of Panama. Features full-colour plates, situated opposite concise and informative text pages. All plumages are illustrated and there are distribution maps for each species.
Beavers in Britain
We recommend these two books on the hot topic of beavers in Britain, plus read an interview with ecologist Derek Gow who has substantial experience with beaver reintroduction trials in Devon and Tayside.
The Eurasian Beaver is devised to favourably inform the debate about beaver reintroduction by providing the facts about this species once lost to Britain, but now on the verge of a comeback. Covers biology, behaviour and ecology, and has a wide audience from amateur naturalists to ecologists working on reintroductions.
Nature's Architect: The Beaver's Return to Our Wild Landscapes
Nature's Architect: The Beaver's Return to Our Wild Landscapes is the latest book from leading nature writer Jim Crumley. The book explores the natural history of the beaver, and Crumley makes his case in favour of beaver reintroduction.
Two new books from Mark Avery
With 25 years of experience in bird conservation in Britain, natural history writer Mark Avery is not afraid to advocate for wildlife. Popular and outspoken, his behind-the-scenes knowledge of the politics and the people is amply demonstrated by his latest two books, out now.
Inglorious: Conflict in the Uplands
In Inglorious: Conflict in the Uplands, Avery makes his case for an outright ban on driven grouse shooting. The cost is high for wildlife, particularly the hen harrier, and the ecology of the landscape of the north of England.
Behind the Binoculars: Interviews with Acclaimed Birdwatchers
Behind the Binoculars: Interviews with Acclaimed Birdwatchers features interviews with famous birdwatchers like Chris Packham, Keith Betton, Steven Moss and Ruth Miller. Avery digs deep to find out how they got started, how many birds they have seen, and what inspires them.
Rewilding Britain website launched
www.rewildingbritain.org.uk

Rewilding Britain is a new campaign which "aims to restore nature and reintroduce missing species such as wild boar, lynx, pelicans and other species." The campaign website launched earlier this month, and the organisation hopes to inform a wide audience about the benefits of rewilding, and to build a movement which will push for reintroductions of key species which have become extinct or extremely rare in Britain.

Offical protection for Paraguayan forest
Part of the San Rafael National Park has been protected by the efforts of BirdLife Partner Guyra Paraguay, who have bought part of the land and donated it to the Paraguayan government. The sub-tropical forest reserve is home to 430 species of bird, 61 mammals, and hundreds of other species including 3 reptiles new to science discovered in 2006. 

Spotting leopards using camera hack
Melanistic Malay leopards are hard to tell apart. But ingenious researchers from James Cook University, Australia have discovered a workaround. Adapted camera traps whose infrared flash is triggered in daylight reveal clear images of the all-black animals' hidden spots - leading to a 94% individual identification rate.
