Dear all,

Just a quick note concerning a positive response I have received from
the organisers of the 2nd International Eurasian Ornithology Congress to
be held at Antaltya, Turkey in late October this year.

I'm planning to be in the area (well, east Africa) the week before and
it seems a good opportunity to meet up with some European & Eurasian
colleagues and to hear more about what people are working on or
planning, and also to spread the word on ethnoornithology to an area
that I know is rich in bird knowledge from many countries and cultures.

I have not finalised this proposed session with the conference
organisers and would expect we would need another 4 or 5 (plus me) to
make up enough presenters to warrant a dedicated session. If we don't
have enough presenters for a session I would encourage you to make
further enquiries about making a presentation.

Please note that Registration and Abstract Submission have been extended
to 15 July. You should also check visa requirements.

To find out more about the congress go to:

If you are interested in participating, presenting or assisting with the
organisation of the proposed session please contact me by return email
or through the Ethnoornithology Research & Study Group at:
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/ethnoornithology/

Please also pass this message on to anyone you think might be interested
in attending or presenting at this congress.

Cheers and hoping to hear from you soon,
