Field observations in the Scottish Highlands over decades -
ptarmigan, red grouse, golden plover, dotterel, bird counts.The
author documents hatch-dates of ptarmigan and red grouse in
relation to blaeberry growth and climate. He collates field
observations on golden plover, involving proportions of
dark-plumaged summering birds, breeding success, population density
within and amongst areas, and declines since the late 1970s.
Another chapter reviews evidence on dotterel abundance. The author
criticises a paper claiming benefits of game-keeping for moorland
birds and a report on effects of predation on birds.
