Review
'...the contents are superb, and in the few days that I have had this book I have already referred to it several times. This is a brilliant work.' Bird Watching (March 2010) 'This book will answer all those questions about why you are seeing more, or less, of a particular bird.' Bexley Times (March 2010) 'An excellent reference book.' RSPB '...an up-to-date summary of avian distribution, status and especially taxonomy for all our islands, this comprehensive book deserves an audience...' Birdwatch (August 2010) 'many ornithologists will rightly want to have this volume on their bookshelves.' Bulletin of the British Ornithologists Union (2010)

The Status of Birds in Britain & Ireland
Seller: Buteo Books, San Rafael, CA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. The Status of Birds in Britain and Ireland was written to update the British Ornithologists' Union's last full Checklist, published under the same title as far back as 1971. Since then there have been remarkable changes in both distribution and abundance of the region's birds. Some species have become extinct as breeding birds, whereas others have colonized and even become quite common: This book summarizes all the changes in the distribution and abundance of the region's birds since the publication of the last BOU Checklist, and it gives an up-to-date account of the status of all the birds of Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man, including coverage of each subspecies known to have occurred in the British Isles. This authoritative work of reference gives a detailed assessment of the status and distribution of every species on the British and Irish lists for the first time since 1971, including covering each subspecies known to have occurred in the British Isles. The book is complemented by a 32 page co lour section illustrating some of the representative species and habitats.
