The Birds of Gwent

The birds of Gwent.Hardback.Post free UK

 

This book provides an up-to-date (1977) account 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 census.

R. Lovegrove, G. Williams & I. Williams Illustrated by Kim Atkinson, Phil Bristow, Terrence Lambert, Darren Rees, Philip Snow & Owen Williams

This volume sets out for the first time the historical and current status of all the bird species found in Wales together with their present distribution. The three authors, all staff of the RSPB in Wales, have between them, an accumulated experience of some 80 years of first-hand knowledge of birds in the principality. Their knowledge and love of birds and Wales itself makes this authoritative volume a landmark both in Welsh and ornithological publishing.
