Just received my copy of the excellent “All the Birds of the World” from Lynx Edicions – that’s Sunday sorted marking up the visual checklist ( much better than a spreadsheet) – Gold stickers sorted and first page of Sandgrouse completed ⁦@lynxedicionspic.twitter.com/xd3Cqc7sag

In all seriousness, though, All The Birds Of The World is a real treat (as are all the publications from Lynx Edicions). If you love birds, you should give it look. It literally has them all. 11524 species (extant and extinct), 20865 illustrations. Absolutely amazing. pic.twitter.com/JYmyQLQ6YG

I wasn’t sure what the new ‘All the birds of the World’ from ?@lynxedicions? was going to be like, but if you want a quick reference to all the world’s birds (incl subspecies) with images and maps, it’s really impressive. Recommended! pic.twitter.com/h4F6PoXHEp
