This beautifully illustrated volume is the result of over five years of field work that spanned across the entire Cotswolds range of west-central England. Aimed at both the ornithologist and any of the thousands of visitors who travel to the Cotswold region each year, the information presented here—vitally important for conservation of the area—tracks changes in the breeding distribution of particular species through a series of accessible maps and illustrations presented in full-color and black-and-white images.
