Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...in the summer. Though its song may be heard in March, the bird does not nest usually before the middle of June. 'A nest with four eggs was mown out on July 4, 1897. The well-known habit in this bird of flying with its legs dangling has been noticed here (June 22, 1897). 64. YELLOW HAMMER. Emberiza citrinella. (Bunting lark, Yellow bunting.) One of our commonest resident birds. Lord Lilford says this species sings through the year. YELLOW HAMMER--CIRL-BUNTING 63 experience does not coincide with this, for I have never heard it before February 10, and only-once so early. It seldom nests before the end of May, but goes on singing and nesting well into August. Mr. A. E. G. Dixon, a careful observer, informs me that he saw a Yellow Hammer carrying materials to its nest, which he found half finished, -on February '24, 1905, an almost incredibly early date, but Mr. Dixon assures me it is absolutely correct. Unusual nests are occasionally reported, -e.g., one 8 feet from the ground in a hedge; another, with one egg, under the " eaves" of a haystack (May 16, 1900); a third with one egg in a hole of an ash tree 10 feet from the ground (June 11, 1902). This seems very unlikely, and, perhaps, human agency had something to do with the anomaly. A Cuckoo's egg has been found three times in a nest of this species. A Yellow Hammer which I caught alive in my house at Uppingham shammed death. 65. C-IRL-BUNTING, Emberiza cirlus. The late Mr. A. C. Elliot says in 1883: "I am not aware of the Girl Bunting having occurred in the county; it only needs looking for, I believe, but not in the company of Yellow Hammers--in small, fiocks by themselves or with the common (1l.e., the Corn) Bunting. During hard winters it is fond of...

Modern agriculture, urban expansion, industry and transport have all left their mark, altering the face of the countryside forever. Shifting with the changing scene, the fortunes of Britain and Ireland's bird populations have fluctuated dramatically over the years. As current farming practices have evolved, the natural habitats and breeding patterns of many species have been disrupted. Urban and industrial growth has brought with it the pressures of new land use, pesticides, pollution and human interference. The activities of sportsmen, collectors and farmers have also taken their toll over the years. The new Poyser title The Historical Atlas of Breeding Birds in Britain and Ireland 1875-1900 is a fascinating book resulting form years of meticulous research by the author, Simon Holloway, who provides an absorbing account of the distribution changes of Britain and Ireland's birds over the last quarter of a century. Large colour distribution maps and their accompanying text paint a species-by-species picture of a period which completely transformed the landscape of this country. It is, says Natural World magazine, "a classic case of 'why did no one write this book before?'...The experienced birder, using a knowledge of species requirements, can only marvel at what the long-vanished landscapes were then like." Birdwatch praises Simon Holloway's achievement, saying: "This book brings together so much information from disparate sources, and its status maps present such a clear picture of our late Victorian avifauna, that it should take its place beside the BTO atlases on the bookshelf." While Birdwatching adds: "If you are interested in the historical side of birds and their populations this book will be an endless source of fascination." As with all Poyser publications, the attention to detail, the lovingly produced illustrations and the sheer breadth of knowledge demonstrated by the autho

Book excerpt: The Poyser avifaunas Birds in Scotland, Birds in Ireland and Birds in Wales are all now regarded as classic works. The series is now completed with Birds in England, an avifauna for England's diverse birdlife, past and present. England marks the northwestern limit for many Palearctic breeding birds, and is close to the southwestern limit for several others - in particular, several seabird species whose English colonies are of international significance. It is the first point of arrival for new colonists from the south - Little Egret and Yellow-legged Gull are two recent arrivals - and it is also of international importance for wintering and passage populations of various species which breed in the far north of the Palearctic. A diverse and fascinating avifauna is augmented by visits from an impressive range of rarities from as far afield as Siberia and Canada - Nearctic vagrants in particular are well-represented on the English list. This important new avifauna looks in detail at England and its birds, analysing present and historical data to present a complete picture of the status, range and abundance of every bird on the English list.

This book was released on 2000-05-05 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an ornithological bibliography for the counties of England, Wales, and Scotland and for the Isle of Man. It includes all known books, pamphlets and papers which contain substantial studies of the birds of local areas, from a county down to a back garden or a gravel pit. Each county has an introduction on its boundaries and the history of its ornithology. There has been no comprehensive national publication of this kind since Mullens, Swann and Jourdain's Geographical Bibliography in 1920. The volume also provides a detailed record of the many county and local bird reports and of the ever-increasing number of area surveys produced by statutory and voluntary bodies. The material is arranged by the pre-1974 counties and takes the record up to 1995. There are maps to show the many changes in county boundaries since 1800.The book will be a standard reference work for libraries and collectors, and for anyone interested in the rich and diverse development of local ornithology in its homeland.
