Lack, Peter

This Atlas was published as a companion to 'The Atlas of Breeding Birds in Britain and Ireland' and completed the picture of the countries bird life at the time.  It was based on surveys over three winters 1981/82, 1982/83 and 1983/84 carried out by the BTO using a network of voluntary observers. 

Over 200 species have been mapped, 192 of which have a full page map (with an insert of the breeding map where applicable) faced with a page of text. 23 artists have illustrated each species account.
