The New Atlas of Breeding Birds in Britain and Ireland 1988-1991 - GIBBONS, DAVID W.|JAMES B. REID|ROBERT A. CHAPMAN
1988-1991 (A Volume in the T & AD POYSER POPULAR BIRD BOOK Series)
KORTE INHOUD
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 theconfirmed 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 color showing relative abundance of the species throughout its range; & a third map highlighting changes in distribution between the current & original surveys. Text, tables, & vignette complete each double-page spread. A detailed introduction outlines the methods used in the survey work & explains the various analyses of the data gathered. Appendixes give details of rare breeders & a wealth of extra, tabular data. All-in-all, this is an indispensable reference for every ornithologist with an interest in British birds.
