The Malimbus website provides free of charge the full text of papers, notes, reports and reviews about the birds of this country that have appeared in the journal prior to the last three years. There are at least ten such articles for most West African countries, and as many as 90 for some. For more recent articles, you can find summaries and abstracts on the site.

A complete species index and table of contents by author for Scopus volumes 1-25 (1977-2005) are now available in pdf format at scopus.

For those with an interest in birding in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Andrew Hester has started a blog on some birding experiences in the Katanga Province in
the south. The blog includes trip reports, migrant arrival and departure dates and reports on some interesting sightings.
