Colour plates, b/w photographs and illustrations, graphs, tables, maps, extensive bibliography. Blue boards, spine titled in gilt. Mint new copy in dust-wrapper. This book examines the biology and habits of the teal in great detail, laying out the current state of knowledge in field. Includes a very extensive bibliography. "The common teal and green-winged teal are familiar birds of the wetlands and waterways of Eurasia and North America. Since they are colourful, easy to observe and abundant, especially in autumn and winter, teal have always been popular, with birdwatchers and hunters alike. They are also popular with waterfowl scientists. These ducks are excellent model species for ecological research; their small size creates strong constraints in terms of predation risk and energy requirements, leading them to rely on elaborate trade-off strategies throughout the year, and along their vast flyways. Research in these areas provides the backbone of this book. The Teal looks at distribution and trends in numbers, foraging ecology, breeding behaviour and population dynamics, and the management and conservation of these ducks. It provides a scientifically robust account of these species on which wetland managers, research scientists and the ornithological community may rely, with wider implications for the conservation and management of other waterfowl, and for ecological research in general. The perfect blend of ecological review and species monograph, this book represents the definitive work on two flagship species for wetland conservation." Main chapter headings include:- Names and relatives; General appearance and identification; Distribution and numbers; Movements and habitat use; Feeding ecology; Breeding ecology; Mortality and limiting factors; Demography; Management, harvest and conservation; The teal's future.

B/w photographs, illustrations by Philip Snow, maps, reference list. Dark green boards, spine titled in gilt with gilt tree motif. Slight marks to edges but good-plus in used dust-wrapper. With a foreword by David Bellamy. "The conflict between forestry and nature conservation has become a major environmental issue in Britain in the 1980s. The planting of large tracts of land with exotic conifers and the resulting disturbance of existing plant and animal communities has polarized the debate, each camp believing that it has the most rational view. But the interactions involved are complex. In this book an ornithologist and a forester have combined their skills to try and tease out the real facts behind the various arguments. Which bird species are really threatened? How can we judge the relative value of bird species ousted by plantations and the new species which colonize them? How can the need for forest products be reconciled with the demand of conservationists? This fascinating book tackles these issues in a forthright manner. It represents a significant step towards achieving the sort of prudent land planning that will really improve our beleaguered countryside." .

Iolo Williams' copy with his ownership signature on the first free end-paper. "Each year Britain and Ireland play host to over eight million breeding seabirds. Supported by our rich marine and terrestrial environments, 25 species colonise a plethora of habitats. From teeming cliffs packed with auks, Kittiwakes and Fulmars, to offshore islands where petrels nest hidden from view; from beaches bustling with terns, to inner city sanctuaries of roof-nesting gulls - you are seldom far from a seabird colony. .This book summarises the findings of Seabird 2000, a major initiative to census all breeding seabirds in Britain and Ireland. It draws on the work of over 1000 surveyors who counted seabirds at coastal and inland colonies. The results are compared with two earlier breeding seabird censuses, allowing analyses of population trends over 30 years. For each species, a specialist author gives a detailed account, illustrated with maps and tables, of spatial distribution, population trends and causes of change. This is a readable and comprehensive account of the most exhaustive and detailed survey of breeding seabird populations in Britain and Ireland ever conducted. It is an essential reference resource for birdwatchers, professional ornithologists and anyone involved in the conservation of the marine environment." .
