Seabird Populations of Britain and Ireland

Ian Mitchell, Stephen Newton et al

Summarises the findings of Seabird 2000, a major national initiative to census all the breeding seabirds in Britain and Ireland which incorporates the work of over 400 individuals counting

seabird numbers at coastal and inland sites over 15 years. There is an account for each breeding species, with text by a specialist author discussing distributional characteristics and changes. There are 2 maps per species; one pinpointing each breeding colony, and another expressing expansion, decline, extinction and new colonisation.

"Highly recommended."
