Reviews for The Breeding Birds of North Wales
A landmark publication.
Welsh Daily Post
The atlas is richly illustrated with beautiful photos and summaries written in Welsh. The introductory chapters are also in 2 languages. This shows the linguistic pride of the Welsh. The Breeding Birds of North Wales meets even the highest expectations.
Alauda
It’s quite a big book and quite a thick book. … The contents look good – clear maps, some beautiful photographs, understandable tables and a few graphs. ...This is a book to take with you to a Desert Island because it is fascinating, and because part of its size is dictated by having some dual-language parts, so as well as learning the birds of North Wales you could try and learn Welsh through bird distributions. Mary Avery, Sunday Book Review
Sunday Book Review
[An] exemplary work of citizen science. Mark Cocker, The New Statesman
