Birds on the Faroe Islands

Huw Morgan

Hamlyn

1996

"The Faroe Islands, a place whose image was wrought through listening to countless shipping forecasts when the author was living on the Welsh Island of Skokholm, has been the inspiration for this book. The intricate pen and ink illustrations of many of the birds that may be observed on the Faroe Islands are complemented by a short commentary exploring the naming of the birds in Faroese."

Shorebirds: An Illustrated Behavioural Ecology

Jan van de Kam, Bruno Ens, Theunis Piersma and Leo Zwarts

2004

"Shorebirds are the most visible inhabitants of coastal wetlands worldwide. Many undertake spectacularly long flights between their wintering and breeding grounds, embodying the miracle of long-distance migration in a profound way. In this illustrated behavioural ecology the migration, feeding and breeding of these birds are explained in a comprehensive but simple and visually stunning form. The core of the book is based on studies of shorebirds and other waterbirds (such as ducks, geese and gulls) that migrate along the East Atlantic Flyway. The emphasis is on those using the Dutch, German and Danish Wadden Sea; examples from the rest of the world are also included. The authors are experts in the fields of bird migration, shorebird behaviour and intertidal ecology, and have contributed much to our current understanding of these subjects. The 300 magnificent portraits of waterbirds in action were taken by Jan van de Kam, one of The Netherlands' foremost wildlife photographers."
