The Historical Atlas of Breeding Birds in Britain and Ireland 1875-1900

Book Description
The landscape of Britain has been irreversibly changed over the last century. Modern agriculture, urban expansion, industry and transport have all left their mark, altering the face of the countryside forever.

While Birdwatching adds: "If you are interested in the historical side of birds and their populations this book will be an endless source of fascination."
