Hello Ruth,


Thank you so very much to post the exact location of Flaura &Fauna.I went only once to old location,as I was desperate to find out which subspecies of the Bean Goose we found in December 2002.We found a large book called " The Handbook of BIRD Identification" for Europe and the Western Palearctic by Mark Beaman and Steve Madge.It shows exact the bird we found the middendorffii(called the TAIGA Bean Goose in most books),which is described as the most rarest subspecies in of Bean Goose and is from Siberia.
I remember that it took me for ever finding a parking lot,driving around and around. From then on I ordered the books I wanted by phone. It is good to know,that the store is in a better location and this to make it a day to browse around,and find also places to eat lunch.

Cheers Ruth Sullivan
