Rare Birds, Where and When
An analysis of status and distribution in Britain and Ireland. Volume 1: sandgrouse to New World oriolesBritain and Ireland have been blessed by several analyses of rare birds in recent decades, though it is now nearly 20 years since 'Rare Birds in Britain and Ireland' by Dymond et al published in 1989. This was followed by Rare Birds in Britain 1800-1990 by Lee Evans in 1994 and Keith Naylor’s A Reference Manual of Rare Birds in Great Britain and Ireland in 1996. In 1997 the excellent Rare Birds in Britain and Ireland: A Photographic Record by David Cottridge and Keith Vinicombe hit the shelves, combining pictures and interpretation in one place for the first time.
Since then there has been no attempt to pull together the records for all species presently treated as ‘rarities’ by the British Birds Rarities Committee (BBRC) and the Irish Rare Birds Committee (IRBC)……..until now.
Rare Birds, Where and When: An Analysis of Status & Distribution in Britain and Ireland by Russell Slack does just that and is probably the most detailed analysis and interpretation of rare bird records in Britain & Ireland ever undertaken.
