This is from the dustwrapper: "Bird observatories with which these islands are well-served, have played a major role in ornithology, especially in the study of migration and bird movements.This account of the history, work and pre sent situation (including access and accommodation) of each of the fourteen observatories in Britain and Ireland is timely, and will be invaluable to the many thousands of birdwatchers and ornithologists who visit the observatories each year. The visit may be for one or two days, or as many weeks, but the stay will probably remain one of the highlights of any birdwatcher's life the visit itself, the birds seen, the work shared and the very special atmosphere of observatory life.The emphasis of the book is, naturally, on the birds and there are details of passages and records in typical months and throughout the year, but flora and fauna are also given space. The book concludes with a tabular appendix of all species recorded for each of the observatories."
