The Birds of Norfolk

by Moss Taylor, Michael Seago, Peter Allard, and Don Dorling

Published September 1999

Because of its unique position on the East Coast, more birds are found in Norfolk than in other parts of Britain. Its diversity of habitats attracts and shelters a range of breeding species, and its coastline facing the North Sea ensures a wealth of migrant visitors. This book has been written by a team of almost 40 experts from within the country. Introductory chapters cover the history of ornithology in Norfolk and its birding personalities; conservation; ringing; migration; and geography. The bulk of the book comprises the systematic list which details the status and distribution of every species recorded in Norfolk.
