Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | A guide to the identification of all 185 species known to have been recorded on the Falkland Islands or within the 200 mile zone of surface water surrounding the archipelago. Twenty-one colour plates by Franklin Coombs illustrate all breeding species and most of the the non-breeding visitors and vagrants. Short notes on field identification are given opposite the plates and birds not illustrated are listed. Identification notes are cross referenced to the main text where full details on each species are provided. The book can be used merely as a field guide, by reference to the plates and checking with the full description in the text. For those who wish to learn more about the environment, the introduction gives a description of many factors that affect the birds of the Falkland Islands and a historical summary of ornithological and conservation activity. An explanation of scientific classification and general notes on distribution of breeding birds and the occurrence of vagrants, complete the introduction. |
