Dear Colleague in the BirdLife Asia Partnership

Remarkable Birds - the World's favourite birds book

I have been approached by Collins publishers about a book on the world's favourite birds. The book will comprise accounts for 100 species. The species will be selected by a panel of experts. Collins have asked the BirdLife Secretariat to help with the choice of the birds to be included in the book. They have made a short questionnaire to help with the selection process. The book will be published in November 2007.

You will receive a complimentary copy of the book for your response. Additionally Collins will enter the 100+ returned questionnaires into a prize draw, the prize being GBP250 of Collins books.

This is your chance to share your experiences and ensure that Asian species are well representedin the book. You'll see that Collins also  want your experiences which they can use as quotations.

If you don't have the time to give to this maybe you can send to a colleague in your organisation? You can fill in the form within the email or use the attached Word Document.

Best wishes

The email address (birds@collins.co.uk) from the form seems to be wrong, it seems to be invalid, and the real one I think should be birds@harpercollins.co.uk , after checking http://www.collins.co.uk for email contacts and just did successfully send out the form.

Anyone who wish to participate, please be reminded the closing date is May 20 according to the form.
