THE BIRDS OF LONG BUCKBY

NICK ROBERTS, SB, £15

This is a remarkable insight into the variety of birds that have visited a seemingly unremarkable

Northamptonshire parish.

The author shares both his passion for birds and his belief in the necessity to create green spaces for nature and us, and the work being done by an army of volunteers to achieve that.

As well as the individual species accounts, there are also some excellent images, an article from Sue Ebbage about her bird photography, and maps, plus a fine article by Nick on ‘An Extraordinary Occurrence’, which not only shows how rarities can turn up anywhere, but also how the increased scrutiny that a rarity encourages can reveal further unexpected birds.
