Taking Flight: The Birds of Langford LowfieldsMichael Warren
Foreword: Simon Barnes
Mascot Media
2014
"Mascot Media has published renowned bird artist Michael Warren's second book of colourful sketches from Langford Lowfields, the Nottinghamshire sand and gravel pit being transformed into the newest RSPB reserve. Mike has been sketching the growing number of species (latest count 189) attracted to Langford Lowfields every month since 1989, with this second volume, 'Taking Flight: the Birds of Langford Lowfields', including his monthly sketches from 1999-2014, completing his artistic record of this important wildlife project. Printed in the UK and containing more than 190 pages of MIke's stunning work, 'Taking Flight' includes a foreword by Simon Barnes, who explains that "Mike can make birds live again. Not just the shape and the colours; the movement, the attitude, the moving spirit. He can do this with an elaborate painting, but for me it’s all the more vivid when done – suggested, hinted at – with a few deft and thoughtful lines."

The Birds of Nottinghamshire
Editor: Austen Dobbs for the Trent Valley Bird Watchers
David & Charles
1975
"This County bird book brings the record of Nottinghamshire's ornithology up to dateand presents it in an easily usable form for today's large numbers of birdwatchers - whether local, visiting or just interested in birds anywhere. The systematic list, the first comprehensive one since 1907, is designed to answer the innumerable questions on arrival and departure times of migrants, on recorded visits by rarities, or changes in numbers or distribution. In the earlier chapters, the county's various habitats and their bird populations are discussed and this concentrated look at a limited area gives an unusually sharp picture of the status and problems of bird life today, on how density and distribution are affected by the ever-faster rate of change resulting from man's activities."

The Birds of Sherwood Forest: with notes on their habits, nesting and migrations
W.J. Sterland
With four illustrations by the author
L. Reeve & Co
1869
From the preface: "THE substance of the following pages originally appeared in the well-known natural history columns of the Field newspaper, during the years 1865-6 and 7. They were fortunate in attracting considerable attention, and in eliciting from numerous readers a wish for their separate publication. With some diffidence I now comply with that desire, for my little work makes no pretension to be an exhaustive history of the birds it treats upon, but is a simple record of the results of twenty years' observations in a district of great natural interest. My occupations took me much out of doors, and I omitted no opportunity of jotting down every fact that came under my notice, that might bear on the life-history of our feathered friends. Some of my notes are but bare records of the occurrence of a species; others I trust may be found to possess a fuller interest. I have carefully revised the original papers, and have added much additional information, the result of later observations. The introductory chapter on the forest will, I hope, give my readers some idea of the district in which my labours have been carried on."
