Rare Birds in Britain and Ireland

Description:

First edition. In 1974, J.T.R. Sharrock compiled Scarce Migrant Birds in Britain and Ireland, a book covering the records of some two dozen species of regularly occurring rarities and rare migrants between 1958 and 1967. Two years later the natural successor to this book, Rare Birds in Britain and Ireland (J.T.R. & E.M. Sharrock, 1976) was published. This covered nearly all those species which, during 1958-72, were considered by the British Birds Rarities Committee; it also included notable records of extreme rarities up until 1975. This current book unifies and updates these previous two. It analyses some 46,000 records of rare and scarce migrant birds in Britain and Ireland. From the maps and graphs shown, the reader can, at a glance, see how many, where, when and how frequently each species arrived.
