Birds in Counties: an Ornithological Bibliography of the Counties of England, Wales, Scotland and the Isle of Man David K. Ballance

An ornithological bibliography for the counties of England, Wales and Scotland and for the Isle of Man. It includes all known books, pamphlets and papers which contain substantial studies of the birds of local areas, from a county down to a back garden or a gravel pit. Each county has an introduction on its boundaries and the history of its ornithology. The volume also contains a detailed record of the many county and local bird reports and of the ever-increasing number of area surveys produced by statutory and voluntary bodies. The material is arranged by pre-1974 counties and takes the record up to 1995. There are maps to show the many changes in county boundaries since 1800.
