Request for photos

As mentioned before, I am writing a new guide on the woodpeckers of the world. Previously I asked that those of you sending photos for possible inclusion in the book should send them to the editor at the publisher in London. However, it is now possible to send samples directly to me. So, if you have good photos of any woodpecker, from anywhere in the world, then I would be glad to see them. At this stage small sample jpg files are fine. Thank you. Gerard Gorman.
