Hi there, You may know that Christopher Helm's landmark identification guide, Reed and Bush Warblers by Peter Kennerly and David Pearson, is approaching publication. However, we are still looking for a number of photographs of various species from around the globe. Some of these are pretty obscure! But I think we can get good pics of most, if not all of them. I've attached the list of missing species below. If you think you might have something we could use in the book, please drop me a line, either by replying to this message or (preferably) by emailing me at [email protected] If you know of anyone else who might have good photos of some of these birds please let me know! I'll be sending out a few emails to various groups, so apologies in advance if you get this message more than once, Thanks and best wishes, Jim Species from Africa and associated islands: Little Rush Warbler Bradypterus baboecala â" all races White-winged Swamp Warbler Bradypterus carpalis Grauerâs Swamp Warbler Bradypterus graueri Dja River Warbler Bradypterus grandis Bamboo Warbler Bradypterus alfredi Barrattâs Warbler Bradypterus barratti Knysna Warbler Bradypterus sylvaticus Cinnamon Bracken Warbler Bradypterus cinnamomeus â" all races Bangwa Forest Warbler Bradypterus bangwaensis Evergreen Forest Warbler Bradypterus lopezi â" all races African Reed Warbler Acrocephalus baeticatus â" all races Cape Verde Warbler Acrocephalus brevipennis Greater Swamp Warbler Acrocephalus rufescens Madagascar Swamp Warbler Acrocephalus newtoni Seychelles Warbler Acrocephalus sechellensis Rodrigues Warbler Acrocephalus rodericanus Mountain Yellow Warbler Chloropeta similis Madagascar Brush Warbler Nesillas typical Moheli Brush Warbler Nesillas mariae Aldabra Brush Warbler Nesillas aldabranus Species from the Himalayas, China and Indian subcontinent: Spotted Bush Warbler Bradypterus thoracicus Long-billed Bush Warbler Bradypterus major Brown Bush Warbler Bradypterus luteoventris Russet Bush Warbler Bradypterus mandellii Sri Lanka Bush Warbler Elaphrornis palliseri Chestnut-headed Tesia Oligura castaneocoronata Grey-bellied Tesia Tesia cyaniventer Slaty-bellied Tesia Tesia olivea Pale-footed Bush Warbler Cettia pallidipes Aberrant Bush Warbler Cettia flavolivacea Brownish-flanked Bush Warbler Cettia fortipes Yellow-bellied Bush Warbler Cettia acanthizoides Humeâs Bush Warbler Cettia brunnescens Chestnut-crowned Bush Warbler Cettia major Grey-sided Bush Warbler Cettia brunnifrons Species from northern Asia: Baikal Bush Warbler Bradypterus davidi Chinese Bush Warbler Bradypterus tacsanowskius Pallasâs Grasshopper Warbler Locustella certhiola Middendorffâs Grasshopper Warbler Locustella ochotensis Grayâs Grasshopper Warbler Locustella fasciolata â" particularly from Siberia Streaked Reed Warbler Acrocephalus sorghophilus Manchurian Reed Warbler Acrocephalus tangorum Blunt-winged Warbler Acrocephalus concinens Manchurian Bush Warbler Cettia canturians Japanese Bush Warbler Cettia diphone Species from the Phillipines: Benguet Bush Warbler Bradypterus seebohmi Streaked Reed Warbler Acrocephalus sorghophilus Luzon Bush Warbler Cettia seebohmi Species from southeast Asia: Javan Bush Warbler Bradypterus montis Timor Bush Warbler Bradypterus timorensis Long-tailed Bush Warbler Bradypterus caudatus Chestnut-backed Bush Warbler Bradypterus castaneus Javan Tesia Tesia superciliaris Russet-capped Tesia Tesia everetti Timor Stubtail Urosphena subulata Bornean Stubtail Urosphena whiteheadi Sunda Bush Warbler Cettia vulcania - Required from Mount Kinabalu (Sabah, Malaysia) and as many Indonesian islands as possible) Species from Australia: Australian Reed Warbler Acrocephalus australis Species from the Pacific Islands: Millerbird Acrocephalus familiaris Pitcairn Island Warbler Acrocephalus vaughani Henderson Island Warbler Acrocephalus taiti Rimatara Warbler Acrocephalus rimitarae Kiritimati Warbler Acrocephalus aequinoctialis Nightingale Warbler Acrocephalus luscinius Caroline Islands Warbler Acrocephalus syrinx Nauru Warbler Acrocephalus rehsei Palau Bush Warbler Cettia annae Shade Warbler Cettia parens Fiji Bush Warbler Cettia ruficapilla Tanimbar Bush Warbler Cettia carolinae Bougainville Bush Warbler Cettia haddeni Species from Europe: Aquatic Warbler Acrocephalus paludicola Cettiâs Warbler Cettia cetti from western Europe (cetti), western Asia/ Caucasus (orientalis) and Central Asia (albiventris) Others: Clamorous Reed Warbler Acrocephalus stentoreus from Central Asia/ India (brunnescens), western China (amyae), Sri Lanka (meridionalis), Philippines (harterti), as many islands as possible in Indonesia, and Bismarck Islands to Solomon Islands (sumbae)
