About this Item

This copy is in new, unmarked condition bound in blue cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in new condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. This long-awaited new book is a significant advance over the first volume. The first text was a result of the first national survey of breeding birds, completed more than 20 years ago, with maps from data only on the confirmed or probable breeding of each species in a given grid square. This more detailed volume presents three maps for each species account: one showing breeding distribution as before; a second in full colour showing relative abundance of the species throughout its range; and a third map highlighting changes in distribution between the current and original surveys. Text, tables, and vignette complete each double-page spread. A detailed introduction outlines the methods used in the survey work and explains the various analyses of the data gathered. Appendixes give details of rare breeders and a wealth of extra, tabular data. All-in-all, this is an indispensable reference for every ornithologist with an interest in British birds. Published with contributions from the British Trust for Ornithology, the Scottish ornithologists' Club and the Irish Wildbird Conservancy. Ref A6 1.

About this title

Synopsis

The previous volume of this atlas was the result of the first national survey of breeding birds in Britain and Ireland and its maps presented data only in the confirmed or probable breeding of each species in each grid square. In this more detailed volume, each species account includes three maps, one showing breeding distribution as before, one in full colour showing relative abundance of the species throughout its range, and one highlighting changes in distribution between the current and original surveys. A text, tables and vignette complete each double-page spread. A detailed introduction outlines the methods used in the survey work and explains the various analyses of the data gathered. Appendices give details of rare breeders as well as extra tabular data.
