Dear Nancy,

Thanks for that information. I'll pass it on to Ms. Tiwonge.

Its good to hear from you after some time and its good to see that you
are still in Africa.

I don't know if you caught the recent post about the request from the
organisers of the Pan African Ornith Congress to organise an ethnoorn
session at the conference in South Africa in September next year if you
are still in the country would you like to be involved? It would be good
to have someone on the ground and we've had a good response to date,
particularly from people in Kenya and I'm reasonably confident that we
could get a good session together.

Let me know what you think.

Don't forget to post some of your thoughts, papers or musings to the
ERSG website - we really like to know what sort of work people are up
to. You might pass word about the ERSG to those that you say are "open
to the subject"!

Cheers, thanks and best,

Robert Gosford
