This manual provides comprehensive information on "The Atlas of Wintering Birds in Britain and Ireland," authored by Peter Lack and published by T & AD Poyser. This guide, first released on November 30, 2010, focuses on birdwatching and details the findings from surveys conducted during the winters of 1981/82, 1982/83, and 1983/84. It meticulously maps the distribution and abundance of over 200 species, with 192 featuring full-page maps, complemented by insightful commentary on their patterns and movements. The work, a black and white reproduction of an original two-colour book, includes contributions from over 100 specialist authors and features line drawings by lead illustrator Robert Gillmor.
The purpose of this manual is to serve as an authoritative resource for understanding the wintering bird populations of Britain and Ireland. It covers essential aspects such as survey methodology, data processing, and the geographical distribution of various species. Introductory chapters delve into mapping techniques, weather patterns during the survey winters, and bird migration. The appendices offer detailed insights into the planning, organization, and field methods employed by the British Trust for Ornithology and the Irish Wildbird Conservancy. This 448-page English-language guide is intended for ornithologists, researchers, and enthusiasts seeking in-depth knowledge of avian wintering habits.
This companion volume to The Atlas of Breeding Birds of Britain and Ireland is derived from surveys of birds present in Britain and Ireland during the three winters, 1981/82, 1982/83 and 1983/84. The surveys were organised by the British Trust for Ornithology and the Irish Wildbird Conservancy, as were the earlier breeding birds surveys.
The Winter Atlas maps 200 species, 192 of which have full-page two-colour maps faced by a page of text. The texts (written by over 100 specialists) comment on the survey results, the species generally and the distribution and abundance as mapped. In addition there are introductory chapters on the maps, the weather in the three winters, bird patterns and movements; and appendices describing the planning, organisation, field methods, and processing of the survey data from record cards to computer output and maps. A team of 23 artists, led by Robert Gillmor, has provided the line drawings which head the species accounts.
This is a print-on-demand edition of the Atlas. It is a black and white reproduction of the original two-colour book.
