Kenya Birds 1993 Volume 02 №01

Nairobi: Departament of Ornithology. — 42 p. — ISSN: 1023-3679.First of all, a big thank-you to all those readers who have sent in their subscriptions to Kenya Birds. We greatly appreciate your support. To make the magazine a success, however, we need not only subscribers but material. So please keep sending in your records, notes and articles, whether long or short. We also need additional brd artists to come to our assistance with pen-and-ink drawings.
Records are always particularly welcome. We may not be able to publish every one due to the limited space available, but all records help to build a better picture of where our birds are, and when. We expect the bird distribution database to be up and running soor on a computer in the Dept. Ornithology, and all the records received for Kenya Birds will be entered there. Standard recording forms will follow, but in the meantime you can greatly improve the usefulness of your records by making sure you include the following information: the Atlas square, latitude and longitude (as precise as possible), altitude and some indication of the habitat. The date and observer are obviously necessary, as is the species — but you might be surprised what some absent-minded observers send in!
