About This Item
T. & A. D. Poyser, 1974-01-01. 1st. Hardcover. Very good/Good. 223 x 145 mm. NO. How many are seen? How regularly do they come? where do the occur? When are they likely to be spotted? The above questions are authoritatively answered by the author, Dr. J.T.R. Sharrock, honorary secretary of the British Ornithologists' Union's Record Committee and of the Rare Breeding Birds Panel [and so forth]. Dr. Sharrock takes a ten-year period and investigates in detail all the records of a selection of birds which occur here as scarce migrants - birds from Europe, from Asia and from America. He considers their breeding and wintering ranges, and the patterns of their records in Britain and Ireland, and tries to determine, also, why do they visit us at all?" Chapters include: Hoopoe, golden oriole and tawny pipit; Melodious warbler, icterine warbler and woodchat shrike; Rough-leggend buzzard, Temminck's stint and long-tailed skua; Bluethroat and ortolan bunting; American birds; Greensih warbler, Arctic warbler and scarlet rosefinch; Mediterranean gull, white-winged black tern and gull-billed tern; Yello-browed warbler and Richard's pipit; Aquatic warbler, barred warbler and red-breasted flycatcher.
