Description
An Island avifauna and bird atlas.
Islay and Jura are two large islands in the Inner Hebrides which, despite their proximity, have a distinctly different variety of habitats due largely to their geology. Jura is predominantly a rugged island of hills and uplands, whereas Islay is more varied, gentler and lower-lying with much more fertile farmland.
This book gives the first detailed and complete account under one cover of these two island’s avifauna, using data gathered from historical records, earlier publications on the birds of Islay, plus a wealth of present day surveys and observations up to the end of 2025. It is the first complete account of the comparatively under-recorded bird life of Jura.
