OVERVIEW:

First published in 2002, this is the successor to "The Birds of Colonsay and Oransay" by Jardine, Clarke & Clarke which was published in the late 1980s, since which time many things have changed. Land use, farming methods and conservation techniques have all had an effect, and David Jardine's new book is an invaluable guide to the processes involved. The author provides useful hints on where and how one can readily view the various species, and draws attention to "hot spots" which one might encounter in the course of a more general walk. For general convenience, the book includes a checklist of 191 species recorded since 1975, together with an indication of their status… plus the late addition of a new species confirmed in August 2002 by British Birds Rarities Committee, the Black-headed Bunting.

 

This is a highly-readable and extremely useful book, packed with local and unusual detail.
