About the book >.>.> Lord Howe Island has fascinated scientists and naturalists since discovery in 1788. The bird life, in particular, has been a major attraction, with 14 species of seabirds and 18 species of landbirds breeding on the Island today. Man's impact on the Island has caused the extinction of a further 10 species which are, however, of great historic interest. Many species of migratory shore-birds visit briefly. Two major publications about the birds have been made-one in 1928 and the next in 1940. Both of these volumes were limited editions, and are not readily available today. This new book details and illustrates, for the first time, all breeding species, past and present. It also gives interesting details about the history of bird collecting, the use of birds by residents and notes on locations of breeding colonies. For the person interested in birds or nature in general it will provide fascinating reading about the birdlife of one of Australia's most interesting Islands. (LL).
