Description

The Birds of Shropshire provides the most comprehensive record of the County's avifauna ever published.

Produced by Shropshire Ornithological Society, the book is based on the results of six years fieldwork by over 650 different observers who submitted over 333,400 records.

These records have been used to produce maps showing the current distribution of almost 200 different species. Stunning images of 220 species have been contributed by 21 local photographers.

The book includes an account for each species, describing its distribution and relative abundance, and the breeding status where relevant.

The current breeding and winter maps will be compared with those shown in An Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Shropshire (1992) and with the Shropshire part of the national An Atlas of the Wintering Birds in Britain and Ireland (1986).

Historical data, and results of specific local studies, are also incorporated. For many species it will show that massive changes have occurred in their population and distribution.

The book will shape conservation priorities in the County for the next 20 years.
