Reviews

[Marcus · Rating 3 out of 5]

Engaging, illuminating description of UK weather patterns & the effect on birds, resident & migratory. Enthusiastic discussion of key weather events & the resulting significant birding outcomes were enjoyable. A section on predictions on the effects of “global warming” were inaccurate as the author suggested they would be. One of the only books around dealing with this topic but it suffers from being out of date as published 1995.
