New Zealand Birds

I bought this copy of New Zealand Birds and How to Identify Them in St. Andrews, Scotland 16 years ago. Given a as a gift to William Borg-Watson from sergeant J. R. Simonsen in November 1943. Wishing a peaceful New Year. The book's official dedication is to "The Children of New Zealand". The picture's a link to the color plates which compelled me to make this L1.80 purchase. Also I guess some wishful thinking about seeing NZ one day.
