The Birds of Shropshire provides the most comprehensive record of
the County's avifauna ever published. Produced by Shropshire
Ornithological Society, the book is based on the results of six
years fieldwork by over 650 different observers who submitted over
333,400 records. These records have been used to produce maps
showing the current distribution of almost 200 different species.
Stunning images of 220 species have been contributed by 21 local
photographers. The book includes an account for each species,
describing its distribution and relative abundance, and the
breeding status where relevant. The current breeding and winter
maps will be compared with those shown in An Atlas of the Breeding
Birds of Shropshire (1992) and with the Shropshire part of the
national An Atlas of the Wintering Birds in Britain and Ireland
(1986). Historical data, and results of specific local studies, are
also incorporated. For many species it will show that massive
changes have occurred in their population and distribution. The
book will shape conservation priorities in the County for the next
20 years.
