Product Description
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 one showing breeding distribution as before; a second in full color 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.Key Features* Provides a detailed summary of the last BTO Survey methods and data analysis* Offers full accounts for species of birds breeding in Britain and Ireland.
