About the book >.>.> A Guide to Birds of Southern Portugal by Randolph Cary is a comprehensive regional guide specifically designed for bird-watchers interested in the avian diversity found in southern Portugal. While existing field guides to European birds offer valuable information regarding identification, habitat, and distribution, they often lack the detailed insights crucial for observing birds in specific locales. This guide fills that gap by providing essential details about the status and habitat of the region's bird species, along with practical information on the best locations for sightings.This guide covers an area south of the River Tagus, encompassing the provinces of the Algarve, both Alentejos (Alto and Baixa), most of the Ribatejo, and parts of Estremadura, including Lisbon. It addresses more than 250 species, detailing those commonly observable, rarities, and passage migrants. Certain species that are less frequently encountered in the British Isles?approximately a quarter of the total?are highlighted, while accidental species and sub-species are excluded to maintain focus on those that avid bird-watchers are likely to encounter. Southern Portugal's rich diversity of habitats supports a wide range of bird life, although many species tend to be wary and require some effort to locate. Consequently, understanding the status of various birds aids enthusiasts in optimally timing their searches, thereby enhancing their bird-watching experience. The guide includes a specially drawn road map on the end-papers, illustrating prime locations for bird sightings, making it an invaluable tool for anyone looking to explore the avian world of this vibrant region.

Small archive of five vintage photographs belonging to noted avant-garde filmmaker and writer Kenneth Anger, relating to his research into homosexuality, drugs, and murder for his notorious books "Hollywood Babylon" (1959) and "Hollywood Babylon II" (1984). Two photographs with Anger's ownership stamp and label on the verso, four with press stamps on the verso, and three with printed mimeo snipes affixed to the versos. "Hollywood Babylon" and its sequel detailed the various improprieties (both real and imagined) of the elite of Hollywood's Golden Age. Archive includes: A photograph of Irish American director and actor William Desmond Taylor, released for newspaper usage after his murder on February 1, 1922. A photograph of actress Virginia Rappe, circa 1922, released for newspaper usage after her death at the height of the Fatty Arbuckle scandal. A photograph of actress Alma Rubens, released for newspaper usage after she was arrested for narcotics possession in 1931. Rubens had been arrested on similar charges in 1929, and (as noted on the snipe) had "taken the narcotic cure" that year. Rubens would die weeks later from lethal pneumonia and bronchitis, on January 21, 1931, shortly after her release from jail. A Paramount studio photograph of actors Cary Grant and Randolph Scott at a swimming pool, circa 1935. The two men lived together sporadically for twelve years, throughout the 1930s and early 1940s, and were suspected by both Anger and contemporary sources to have been lovers. A photograph of the body of Mexican American actor and closeted homosexual Ramón Novarro being removed from his house after its discovery in 1968. Novarro was tortured and murdered by two male escorts who (falsely) believed a large sum of money was hidden in the actor's house. Photographs range in size from 6 x 8 inches to 8 x 10 inches. Generally Very Good plus, with moderate edgewear and age toning overall, with photograph of Grant and Scott Good only, with a bruise on the center top edge of the recto.
