Produktinformationen zu „The Lapwing (PDF)“
A detailed, authoritative yet highly readable monograph on one of Britain's best-loved farmland birds, the Lapwing.
With its striking green-black and white plumage and distinctive pee-wit call, the Lapwing is one of Britain's best-known birds. Lapwings depend on agricultural land to breed and are considered a barometer of the health of this habitat; the population has crashed over recent decades, partly due to changes in farming practices. In winter, Lapwings switch to coastal areas and to wetlands, including those in suburban areas, where large, noisy flocks can gather.
Michael Shrubb's The Lapwing is a thorough review of Lapwing biology contains sections on population dynamics, feeding ecology, habitat use, migration, and conservation; there is an impressively detailed review of our current understanding of breeding biology, plus discussion of some other species in the genus.
The Lapwing is a superb addition to the Poyser list. Of interest to both amateur naturalists, who will enjoy insights into the birds' lives, and to academics, who will appreciate the broad overview of current research, this title will remain the definitive work on the species for many years to come.

Autoren-Porträt von Michael Shrubb
Michael Shrubb has enjoyed a lifetime of study on birds; a former farmer, he has been fascinated by them ever since he found breeding lapwings on his land more than 40 years ago. He has written numerous books and papers on farmland and its birds, and his conservation work has included helping with projects such as the RSPB Lapwing Recovery Programme and organising the 1987 BTO Lapwing Survey. In recent years he has also researched the history of hunting, trapping and fowling in the British Isles, often returning to original sources, a project that has led to a number of surprising biogeographical discoveries.Michael is a former council member of both the RSPB and BTO. His books for Poyser include The Lapwing (2009) and Feasting, Fowling and Feathers: a history of the exploitation of birds (2013).
