Hudson?s many notes, Linda Gardiner fulfilled the ornithologist?s wish to expand his 1894 pamphlet titled Lost British Birds. The result is a book with information and colored plates relating to ?lost? bird species ?which were summer residents and breeders, or inhabitants all the year round, of some part of Great Britain, but which no longer breed in the country and visit our shores only as rare stragglers, or, bi-annually, in their migrations to and from their breeding areas on the continent of Europe.?.
