Not Stated (illustrator). ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 2004). 2004 1st edition. Large 8vo (178 x 252mm). Pp576. Colour and b/w photographs, b/w illustrations, graphs, tables, map end-papers, extensive bibliography. Blue boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine copy in dust-wrapper. "Shetland is the most northerly island group in Britain, lying 130 miles north of the Scottish mainland. There are around 100 islands in the archipelago, of which just 15 are inhabited. They are spectacularly beautiful, and hold a variety of interesting habitats. The archipelago is a famous among birders for its globally significant populations of breeding seabirds and its remarkable list of rare visitors. The Shetland breeding avifauna is less diverse than that of the mainland, but the islands do support many species uncommon or absent elsewhere in Britain. Twenty-one species of seabird breed, including all four auks, Great and Arctic skuas and Leach's Petrels, and almost all of Britain's breeding Red-necked Phalaropes are found on Fetlar. The islands also hold important breeding populations of various waders and wildfowl. In spring and autumn the islands are significant staging posts for migrants, including rarities. Fair Isle especially is a magnet for vagrants from both sides of the Atlantic. Rarities like Great Snipe, Citrine Wagtail and Lanceolated Warbler are found more often here than anywhere else in Britain, and the island has claimed many 'firsts for Britain'. This book represents a comprehensive overview of the status of every species recorded in Shetland. The accounts cover distribution and population trends, patterns in habitat use, and conservation. For rarities, a thorough breakdown of the records is presented and any trends or patterns discussed. The book includes introductory chapters on the islands' climate, vegetation, general ecology and history of land use, and their history of birding and conservation. It is illustrated with attractive line drawings, plus 40 pages of colour photographs. This is the definitive avifauna for Shetland, and will be invaluable to all birders and ornithologists with an interest in these wonderful islands." Contents include:- Forewords by Dennis Coutts and Roy Dennis; Acknowledgements; Introduction by Kevin Osborn; Geographical overview of Shetland by Mike Pennington; Human impact on the Shetland avifauna by Paul Harvey; Breeding birds by Paul Harvey and Martin Heubeck; Wintering birds by Paul Harvey; Migration by Kevin Osborn and Mike Pennington; The birdwatchers by Mike Pennington. These chapters cover the first 64 pages of the book. This is followed, from pages 65 to 530, by the Systematic List of the Birds of Shetland with contributions from all seven authors. Mike Pennington then contributes two further chapters to close the book: Escapes and failed introductions, and, Errors, unconfirmed and other unacceptable records. Appendices include:- Shetland bird names; Gazetteer; Scientific names of plants and animals referred to in the text; Officers and wardens; Notable 2003 records. The book concludes with an eighteen page bibliography. .

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An authoritative guide to birds of the UK Overseas Territories.The UK Overseas Territories (UKOTs) are scattered across the globe. Most are small islands or island complexes, occurring from the Caribbean to the furthest reaches of the South Atlantic, via the Indian and Pacific Oceans.In terms of global biodiversity, these territories are remarkably significant. Among landscapes that range from coral atolls, through mangroves and dry forests to the ice sheets of Antarctica, the UKOTs support no fewer than 45 species of birds currently considered to be globally threatened. They are also home to a third of all the world's breeding albatrosses, and nine of the world's 17 species of penguin.In a rapidly changing world, the UKOTs symbolise global crises in climate and biodiversity. Threats faced by their wildlife range from mortality of seabirds at sea through industrial fisheries, and on land as a result of introduced ground predators, to the utter devastation of hurricanes in the Caribbean, which provide a stark reminder of our changing climate. The human impact on the wildlife of our planet has been increasing for centuries, but the next few decades promise to be critical.This book explores the birds and other wildlife of each of the 14 UKOTs, with a particular focus on environmental threats and conservation priorities. Written by authors with a deep connection to the sites, this book represents an important stocktake of the biological richness of these special places in the early 21st century.
