Birdwatching has become an increasingly popular pastime in Ireland as elsewhere.Nor is all of the birdwatching done by the Irish.Many professional ornithologists from Britain and Western Europe find good reason to study Ireland's birds,as do the numerous birdwatching visitors each year.

This book documents all records of rare and scarce birds in the historical county of Yorkshire.The growing interest in rare bird occcurrences in recent decades has led to a substantial change in the known status of many vagrants and scarce migrants.No less than 28 species have been recorded for the first time in Yorkshire during the last ten years and many former rarities are now being found with increasing frequency in the county.

mapThis County bird book brings the record of Nottinghamshire's ornithology up to date (1975),and presents it in an easily usable form for today's large numbers of birdwatchers - whether local,visiting or just interested in birds anywhere.The systematic list,the first comprehensive one since 1907,is designed to answer the innumerable questions on arrival and departure times of migrants,on recorded visits by rarities,or changes in numbers or distribution.
