a Field Guide for Surveys and Monitoring

a Field Guide FOR Surveys and Monitoring

Written and edited by a team from the Scottish Raptor Monitoring Group, the book draws on the knowledge and experience of more than 300 raptor specialists, in particular members of the Raptor Study Groups. It has been funded by Scottish Natural Heritage, with assistance from the other Statutory Nature Conservation Agencies in Britain and Ireland and from voluntary conservation bodies concerned with birds of prey. There are growing demands for high quality information on the numbers, distribution and population trends of these fascinating birds. This book aims to promote best practice for fieldwork, and should provide an excellent starting point for anyone beginning a raptor study.

This is the second edition of the highly successful field guide to methods for surveying and monitoring raptors. Incorporating new information and feedback from raptor experts on the first edition, the book covers all birds of prey (diurnal raptors and owls) which occur regularly in Britain and Ireland. Photographic guides to raptor feathers and the growth of raptor chicks are important additions, which fieldworkers will find invaluable.
