Birds of the Cotswolds – A New Breeding Atlas
Autor Iain Main, Dave Pearce, Tim Huttonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mar 2009
This beautifully illustrated volume is the result of over five years of field work that spanned across the entire Cotswolds range of west-central England. Aimed at both the ornithologist and any of the thousands of visitors who travel to the Cotswold region each year, the information presented here—vitally important for conservation of the area—tracks changes in the breeding distribution of particular species through a series of accessible maps and illustrations presented in full-color and black-and-white images.

Notă biografică
The North Cotswold Ornithological Society (NCOS) was formed in early 1983, on the initiative of Martin Wright, an active ornithologist from neighbouring Oxfordshire. From the outset NCOS has been a committed fieldwork organization, dedicated to the recording and surveying of birds in its area. These studies have been initiated both locally and in cooperation with national bodies such as the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).
