Rare Birds Day by Day (T & AD Poyser) - Hardcover
Rare Birds Day by Day creates a fascinating look at the world of scarce and rare birds found in Britain and Ireland. Written by well known and experienced British birders and rare bird finders, this edition is particularly valuable to anyone with an interest in finding and watching rare migrant and vagrant species. The book proves a valuable and fun tool for the keenest rarity hunters, while transforming them into rare bird predictors. This is a unique way of listing British rare bird records, as it documents by date of occurrence rather than by type of species. Spanning 35 years of data collection, Rare Birds Day by Day is further enlivened with illustrations by Dave Nurney.

Book Description Nurney, Dave (illustrator). (Hardcover, 1996). 1996 1st edition. Pp392. B/w illustration by Dave Nurney, map. Green boards. Sporadic annotation otherwise very good in dust-wrapper. "Rare Birds Day by Day follows three earlier Poyser titles looking at scarce and rare birds recorded in Britain and Ireland.This book, however, differs markedly from the earlier volumes, in that it moves away from the traditional presentation of species in systematic order. Covering 282 rare species and sub-species (plus records for a further 18 Category D species) found in Britain and Ireland, around 20,000 individual records of rare birds are listed in diary style, with each individual bird appearing on the date on which it was originally found, along with all the other rare birds found on that date between 1958 and 1994. Each record is listed in county order and is accompanied by the finding site, number of birds (for multiple records) and length of stay (for those birds remaining for more than one day)." .
