Críticas:
"will send many tingles of excitement through the older troops who witnessed some of these remarkable birds." Graham Catley British Birds (Feb 2006) "this book is a neat reference, a great read and a must-have for anyone interested in British rarities." Ian Lewington Ornithos (2005) "A gripping read, a thoroughly enjoyable documentation and an attractive, well-produced book. Highly recommended." BTO News (Jan/Feb 2006) "Both a useful reference work and a good read." British Birds (Feb 2006) "Will appeal to the latent twitcher in all of us." The Guardian (26 Nov 2005)
Reseña del editor:
Britain's position on the edge of the Western Palearctic means that it receives a relatively high number of vagrant birds from both east and west. The islands to the extreme north and west, and the full length of the east coast, are particularly favoured, and the many 'twitchers' who patrol key sites in these places during migration time are hoping to find rarities - but most of all each would like to find a bird never before recorded in Britain - a 'first'. Since 1980, a total of 76 bird species have been found for the first time in Britain. Each individual, although hopelessly lost and quite possibly doomed, has brought birding celebrity for its finder, and a swarm of admirers to view the bird itself. This new book is the successor to Birds New to Britain and ireland by Sharrock and Grant (Poyser, 1982), which covered the new birds discovered between 1958 and 1980. The accounts of each new bird's finder are reproduced from their original sources (mainly from British Birds and Birding World). This is fascinating reading for everyone who has an interest in migration and vagrancy, has made the journey to see any of the birds concerned, or has ever dreamed of finding a 'first' of their own. "This book. will send many tingles of excitement through the older troops who witnessed some of these remarkable birds." British Birds "A nostalgia-fest for keen twitchers and a tantalising read for anyone who hopes to find a first of their own one day." Birdwatch

Descripción Condición: new. (Hardcover, 2005). (2005) later reprint. 8vo (160 x 240mm). Pp344. Colour photograph plates, b/w vignette illustrations of birds, bibliography. Dark green boards, spine titled in gilt. Small split/cut in dust-wrapper (manufacturing fault?). A fine unread copy with dust-wrapper in a protective sleeve so still a very clean serviceable copy. "More birds have been seen in Britain than anywhere else in Europe, and new species continue to arrive each year as vagrants from Central Asia, Siberia and North America. Between 1980 and 2004 more than 70 species have been added to the British list. This book is a compilation of all those records. Finding a 'First for Britain' is the birding equivalent of winning an Olympic gold medal, and the finders' accounts convey that excitement and sense of achievement. These articles are interspersed with 25 annual summaries of the birding years 1980-2004, and 25 essays by prominent birders about their special years during this period. Contributors include Mark Cocker, Chris Harbard, Steve Gantlett, Richard Millington, Dawn Balmer, and Rebecca Nason, who recounts an extraordinary 2004 on Fair Isle when two 'Firsts for Britain' were found within the space of a week! There is also a guest foreword by Eric Meek, chairman of the umpires for the British List - the British Ornithologists' Union Records Committee. The book is richly illustrated with colour photographs of the actual birds themselves (where available), together with a selection of line drawings. This book is an essential work of reference for anyone with an interest in British rarities." . Nº de ref. del artículo: 52703
