Internally, the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears and no inscriptions.
"For its size Somerset remains perhaps more varied in its habitats than any other English county, and this is reflected in the diversity of its bird- life. This is a comprehensive account of the birds found in the `new' county of Somerset. Although it contains earlier records, it is particularly concerned with those of the last twenty years, and reflects the changes that have occurred during this period and the new county's boundaries.
The book is divided into two parts: the first covers the various habitats within the region, and the changes to the environment, especially with regard to conservation, and in the distribution of species. The second part is a full specific list, with additional notes on some aspects, such as Wildfowl and Duck Counts.
Birds of Somerset contains maps of the region and is illustrated with over sixty photographs and line drawings. It also contains a full glossary and bibliography. It has been written by a committee of the Somerset Ornithological Society; those who have produced the specific list are all current editors of the annual Report on Somerset Birds. Invaluable for Somerset's dedicated birdwatchers, this book will also be of interest to those who live in the county with a less specialized interest in natural history."
264 pages. Illustrated with line drawings and black & white photographs throughout.
