Birds of the Philippines, Sumatra, Java, Bali, Borneo, Sulawesi, the Lesser Sundas and the Moluccas
This recent addition to the established Collins Field Guide series features every species of bird you might encounter in the region, with the exception of non-established introductions.

Illustrated by wildlife artist Norman Arlott, who has previously produced field guides to both the Birds of India and Birds of South-East Asia, this book concentrates on the specific characteristics and appearance of each species, allowing easy identification in the field. With 416 pages, 179 colour plates and species distribution maps, Birds of the Philippines is a handy reference book for travelling birdwatchers.
Curlew Moon: An Interview with Mary Colwell 
Mary Colwell is an award-winning writer and producer who is well-known for her work with BBC Radio producing programmes on natural history and environmental issues.

We were delighted to chat with Mary about her recently published book, Curlew Moon, which documents her 500-mile journey from the west coast of Ireland to the east of England to raise awareness and funds for the Curlew, now one of the UK’s most threatened birds.
Signed copies of Curlew Moon are available from NHBS while stocks last.

Beavers have a significant impact on pollution and soil loss
A study undertaken by researchers from the University of Exeter found that dams created by beavers helped to remove significant amounts of sediment, nitrogen and phosphorous from the water, an action which had a notable impact on nutrient pollution downstream.

The largest trees are of most importance to forest biomass
Research looking at forest plots from 21 countries and territories has found that, on average, the largest one percent of trees in mature and older forests contain 50 percent of worldwide forest biomass. This has profound implications for forest conservation.

Alaskan village receives 100s of unexpected walrus visitors
Residents of Port Heiden on the Alaskan peninsula were surprised last month by the arrival of 200 walruses on a nearby beach. Two weeks later, more than 1000 were spotted nearby. It is thought that their arrival may be due to changes in food availability and foraging patterns.
