Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An important new title which presents the most detailed and up-to-date information on bird migration ever published, using the vast wealth of data that the BTO have collected from ringing recoveries. Since the ringing programme began in 1909, there have been around half a million recoveries of birds ringed in the UK. The data yielded has enabled the BTO to build up a picture of the movements of around 200 migratory species, and this book presents that information clearly and concisely.
A tremendously important book for researchers studying bird migration, and it will be a fascinating read for anyone with an interest in birds.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
