Ian Newton, author of Farming and Birds and Bird Migration returns
to the New Naturalist series with a long awaited look at the uplands and
its birds.
The uplands of Britain are unique landscapes created by grazing animals,
primarily livestock. The soils and blanket bogs of the uplands are also
the largest stores of carbon in the UK, and 70% of the country's
drinking water comes from the uplands. It's a significant region, not
least to the multitudes of bird species that hunt, forage and nest
there.
Once again, Ian Newton demonstrates his mastery of the subject matter at
hand, in this beautifully illustrated, authoritative addition to the
New Naturalist series.
