This book completes the series of Poyser avifaunas. It covers England's diverse birdlife, past and present.
England marks the northwestern limit for many Palearctic breeding birds, and is close to the
southwestern limit for several others - in particular, several seabird species whose English colonies
are of international significance. It is the first point of arrival for new colonists from the south - little Egret
and Yellow-legged Gull are two recent arrivals - and it is also of international importance for wintering
and passage populations of various species which breed in the far north of the Palearctic.
A diverse and fascinating avifauna is augmented by visits from an impressive rage of rarities from as far
afield as Siberia and Canada - Nearctic vagrants in particular are well-represented on the English list.
This important new avifauna looks in detail at England and its birds, analysing present
and historical data to present a complete picture of the status, range and abundance
of every bird on the English list.
