About this book

Written for the amateur ornithologist, this book describes the bird life of the various upland regions of the British Isles from an ecological standpoint. It relates distribution and abundance to the various environmental influences of climate, topography, geology, soil type and human land use. The text describes the fauna and natural history of the key species of each habitat type - sheepwalks, grouse moors, deer forests, flows (peat bogs), maritime hills and high tops.

First published in 1990.
