Bird Atlas 2007–11 (1 Viewer)

Seeing the above posts, I am know like a kid waiting for Christmas. Been off work all week, but back in on Monday - typical. Will put Mrs. P. on high alert.
 
We also just received our order of six pallets straight from the printer in Italy, customers who placed orders with us should start receiving theirs within a few days.
 
Mine arrived about 20 minutes ago, and is absolutely fantastic in every way shape or form. No-one will hear a peep from me in days - I'll be immersed in the book.

It sets a new standard for bird atlases. Indeed, the bar is now set so high that subsequent projects will have to surpass it in technology utilised and the clarity of the derived data. I'm in awe of the content and conclusions in the preliminary and introductory material. To Dawn, Simon, Brian, Bob, Iain and Rob, I hope honours and awards result!:t:

I got my copy on Saturday and it us outstanding and apart from highlighting the change in our avifauna since the last atlas(es), it will form a major tool in shaping our research priorities over the next 10+ years.

Mark Avery's is doing a Bird Atlas week on his blog. He's posted three posts thus far as follows -

1 - Sunday book review - view here
2 - Ireland - view here
3 - winter - view here
 
Interesting to see that Mark Avery is suggesting this could/should/will? be the last such atlas in Britain (i.e. published in book form); he suggests Birdtrack should evolve to provide such info online constantly. Don't quite see that myself: surely one major point of this exercise is (fairly) constant and known effort being put in by thousands following the same methods. (I may have misunderstood what he was driving at.)

:eek!: The breeding distribution in B&I has indeed increased by 1172%. But the atlas indicates confirmed/probable/possible breeding in 6%, and winter presence in 10% of squares.
 
Just been delivered - stupendous !!!!!!

Congratulations to everyone involved in the production of this book - absolutely fantastic.

(And my names in it !!)
