Hello fellow birders! For a year or so, I have been eagerly anticipating the release of the Bird Sounds of East Africa collection.  I was wondering if anybody had any information on this collection and specifically the release date? This is going to be a great collection and I am very anxious to ge my hands on it as I'm sure most of Kenya's birder population is. 

Also, after just returning to Nairobi after a trip to the coast I was wondering some things about species splits.

1. Is the Tropical Boubou split into East Coast Boubou and Tropical Boubou?

2. Is Black-and-white Mannikin split into Red-backed Mannikin and Black-and-white Mannikin

3. Are the Taita White-eye and Taita Apalis considered their own species or still considered different races of Montane White-eye and Bar-throated Apalis?

thank you! any help on answering these questions would be very awesome.. especially regarding the bird sound collection, I am very excited to own this collection!
