Overview

This is the latest in a succession of books which chart the fortunes of Hampshire's birds, a pedigree that stretches back to Gilbert White in the 18th century and continued to Birds of Hampshire published by the Hampshire Ornithological Society in 1993. Hampshire Bird AtIas 2007-12 extends this lineage by presenting the most detailed information about the county's birds yet to be published. Based on the results of a comprehensive survey carried out by some 1,200 volunteers, it breaks new ground by mapping the birds' distributions and relative densities in both summer and winter. For the breeding species, it highlights the many changes that have occurred over the past 20 years, identifying the winners and losers and exploring the reasons behind the trends.The book contains:- Individual accounts of the 204 species occurring in Hampshire during the 2007-12 atlas recording periods.- 137 summer and 172 winter maps showing the distributions and relative densities of many species.- 131 maps showing the change in summer distributions since the previous atlas in 1986-91.- Tables and charts showing numbers and trends.- An assessment of Hampshire's bird habitats, how they are changing and the pressures acting upon them.- Over 400 bird photographs, the vast majority taken in the county by Hampshire photographers.This book sets a new benchmark against which future changes will be measured. It is an essential read for anyone with an interest in Hampshire's birds and their habitats.
