PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Alexander Lees is a Senior Lecturer in Biodiversity at Manchester Metropolitan University, a Lab Associate of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and serves on both the British Ornithologists' Union Records Committee (BOURC) and the Brazilian Ornithological Records Committee (CBRO). Alex has written over one hundred academic papers in addition to many popular ornithology articles, and his research focuses primarily on understanding how birds respond to environmental change, particularly in the Amazon where he has been working for the last 17 years. Alex now lives in the Derbyshire Peak District, arguably not the finest place to find vagrants, but hasn’t given up hope yet. James Gilroy is a Lecturer in Ecology at the University of East Anglia. His childhood fascination with bird migration led him into a career studying the long-distance movements of animals, and how these movements are changing in in response to human impacts. Since completing his PhD in the UK, he has worked in many countries around the world, including spending several years at Rutgers University in New Jersey and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences in Oslo, as well as long spells in the tropics. He remains an obsessive birder and vagrant-hunter (when time allows!), and still pores religiously over weather charts in an effort to predict the arrival of interesting species in his local area.
A fascinating read into the different causes of vagrancy, and the instances of vagrancy in different bird families. * BBC Wildlife * An exceptional publication ... If you have an interest in migration and vagrancy you should definitely add it to your bookshelf. * Birdwatch Magazine * Vagrancy in Birds takes you on a journey, following the movement of birds around the world, and showing you why so many end up often in the 'wrong place' ... The mixture of colour pictures really adds to the text, especially in the excellent species accounts which make up most of the book. * Bird Watching, Book of the Month * Incredibly rich ... this remarkable, unique book deserves a place on the shelf of every birder. * Neotropical Birding * Vagrancy In Birds is a unique book, a scholarly volume of ornithological research that birders will also find fascinating and enjoyable. * Bird Observer * This is a rarity of a book, technical, but enthralling. -- John Lewis-Stempel * Country Life *
