This book
provides an up-to-date (1977) acount of the birds of a welsh county,perhaps more
familiarly known as Monmouthshire.Since the formation, in 1962,of the Pontypool
Ornithological society,our knowledge of the bird life of this previously neglected region
has increased enormously.The county contains a wide variety of habitats-from the shores of
the Severn estuary in the south,to the uplands in the north-and this is reflected in the
considerable diversity and interest of its avian fauna.the book is more than a systematic
list,as it includes chapters on a wide variety of ornithological
topics.1977.Hardback.152pp.B/W photos,maps,charts etc.Breeding birds cencus.Fine in D/W
