Shortly after returning to Malawi the voice on the end of the phone was that of Lindsay Macdonald. On my return it had not been difficult to decide whether to join The Environmental and Wildlife Society of Malawi (WESM). After Lindsay's welcome I was in and since then have followed the news concerning Malawi's wildife from the back row seats. Should I say 'The backbenches'?

Sometime later Lindsay has left Malawi but I am still here with a book that she put together, in between those times, for WESM. It is called 'The Sobo Guide to Malawi's Mammals'.

From The Sobo Guide to Malawi's Mammals

I have decided to make this valuable little book the theme of some forthcoming tweets on my twitter account.I have decided also to make a very modest return to the blogsphere so that I have a small blog post that I can put up to go hand in hand with these planned tweets.

At a later stage I fully intend to return to blogging in force and to build on this blog post over time. In the meantime please be patient and while you are in Malawi try to get hold of Lindsay's great little book.
