This Christmas, do you fancy treating yourself to a new book?
Or, better still, getting someone else to treat you?
The Lincolnshire Bird Club has secured an arrangement with a publishing company whose latest title is
The Ring Ouzel which has enjoyed excellent reviews from Mark Avery, The Fat Birder and others.
A feature of the study is that it explores the pressures and problems faced by the species both on passage and in its wintering areas in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.
The importance of Britain as a stop-over and refuelling area for birds on passage in spring and autumn is also assessed, and there is an intriguing description of early attempts to track ring ouzels on migration from Scotland to North Africa and back.
The cover price is £21.95, but a special 20 per cent discount will be available, at the checkout, to LBC members who insert the promotional code WPLINCS20
This offer will run until until February 12, 2021, but don't tarry - the book (which is due to be previewed in the December edition of our e-newsletter) is already selling briskly.
