Birds, Scythes and Combines

Michael Shrubb

An account of the impact of changes in farming methods on the bird populations of British farmland over the past 250 years.

Michael Shrubb is well placed to write this book - being a retired farmer with a lifelong interest in birds. He has served on councils and committees for the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) and the BTO (British Trust for Ornithology).

"The text is very thorough and readable . . . There is something of interest on almost every page."
