Uplands and Birds (Collins New Naturalist Library) Hardback

Ian Newton, author of Farming and Birds and Bird Migration returns to the New Naturalist series with a long awaited look at the uplands and its birds. The uplands of Britain are unique landscapes created by grazing animals, primarily livestock. The soils and blanket bogs of the uplands are also the largest stores of carbon in the UK. And 70% of the country’s drinking water comes from the uplands. It’s a significant region, not least to the multitudes of bird species that hunt, forage and nest there.Once again in Uplands and Birds, Ian Newton demonstrates his mastery of the subject matter at hand. A beautifully illustrated, authoritative addition to the New Naturalist series.This title is also available in paperback format here
