Book Synopsis Estuary Birds of Britain and Ireland by : A.J Prater
Download or read book Estuary Birds of Britain and Ireland written by A.J Prater and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estuaries are rightly of great interest and concern to the birdwatcher. Most teem with thousands of waders, geese, ducks, gulls and other species that use them at times throughout the year; they are also among the last of the wild places left in Britain and Europe. The Birds of Estuaries Enquiry (sponsored by the Nature Conservancy Council and organised by the BTO, RSPB and the Wildfowl Trust) spanned six years, and Tony Prater's report now provides a detailed insight into the birds which use and, in many cases, depend on this special habitat. Of great interest to birdwatchers, the book also will be essential reading for professional conservationists and all involved in the planning and use of estuaries. It assesses the importance of each estuary and the distribution and numbers of all species generally present, and by setting this in an international framework demonstrates the remarkable importance of the estuaries around these islands. Threats to the fabric of the landscape and its wildlife abound, and estuaries are not exempt. Barrage schemes, industrial and agricultural reclamations and many other pressures exist and are the subject of chapters which survey the situation, now and in the future. The text is graced by John Busby's accomplished and evocative drawings and there are numerous maps and diagrams as well as photographs of typical estuaries. Jacket illustration by John Busby.

Book Synopsis Birds and People by : John Goss-custard
Download or read book Birds and People written by John Goss-custard and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-16 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of the development of a new approach for predicting the impact on shorebirds of the many human activities that are carried out on estuaries and embayments such as shellfishing, recreation, building ports, sea -level rise and so forth. The approach is based on the behavior of individual birds and how they react to changes in their environment. It is an approach that does not require special biological knowledge to understand. The book describes how the fieldwork was carried out and how the eventual success of the project owed a great deal to good luck and to colleagues from all over the world. The book is partly aimed at amateur and professional biologists, ornithologists and naturalist interested in the ecology and behavior of shorebirds and in their conservation. It is also intended for people in government, professional organisations and NGO's along with environmental consultants and conservationists who are concerned with managing estuaries. The book provides an easy access to an approach that is being used by some authorities but of which other authorities may not yet be aware. The intention is for the book to be of interest also to students and lecturer in ecology and conservation. It describes a new approach to evaluating the impact of human activities on shorebirds that they might not otherwise encounter. The original research papers are scattered throughout scientific literature and it is sometimes difficult to see the whole picture, and to fully understand why the approach was adopted in the first place. The book should also give students considering a career in field research on birds an idea of what it can be like. Unlike most books on birds, this one not does claim comprehensively to summarise what is known about the breeding biology, migration, population dynamics, conservation requirements etc of a particular group of birds. Nor does it summarise the current state of knowledge about a topic, such as bird migration. Rather, it describes the origin and development of a new approach to providing the advice that nature managers require to make evidence-based decisions on how estuaries might be managed to retain their value to the huge numbers of migratory shorebirds that occur there, mainly during the non-breeding season. Now that the method has been developed, it is possible for the first time to forecast the impact of most changes in the way in which an estuary is managed or changed by a proposed development on what really matters: that is, on the chances of the birds surviving the non-breeding season in good enough condition to migrate successfully to their often distant breeding grounds. The need to carry out such research arose while forecasting the impact on shorebirds of the proposed construction over mudflats and sandflats of the Wash in east England of a huge fresh-water reservoir. But the approach itself was actually pioneered and tested from the mid-1970s onwards in a research programme on oystercatchers feeding on the mainly man-made mussel beds of the Exe estuary in Devon. The first half of the book describes this research programme. The next part describes how the approach was extended and used to investigate the impact on oystercatchers of alternative ways of harvesting cockles and mussels, not just on the Exe estuary but also the Burry Inlet and Menai straights in Wales and in the baie de Somme in France. The approach is now used to advise the authorities on how to harvest shellfish in a bird-friendly way in many parts of the UK. The remainder of the book describes how the approach was modified so it could be applied rapidly to any shorebird species eating any kind of invertebrate prey anywhere in the World. Simultaneously, it was adapted for herbivorous wildfowl and to populations occurring in many widely-separated places, such as intertidal flats and costal fields along the coast of northern Europe.

Download or read book Estuary Animals written by Lisa Colozza Cocca and published by Carson-Dellosa Publishing. This book was released on 2019-08-11 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life in the estuary is always changing. Ocean tides of salt water flow in and out of the estuary and mix with the fresh water that flows from rivers and streams. The animals that swim or wade in the waters or make the mudflats their homes must have physical or social adaptations that allow them to live in the salty mix. In this book, readers in grades 3-5 will discover how and why animals survive and thrive in these sheltered biomes. This NGSS-aligned series is packed with interesting facts and vivid photos that introduce readers to a variety of land and water animals. Each book includes a glossary, comprehension questions, and an activity for home or the classroom.

Book Synopsis I Have Been Assigned the Single Bird by : Susan Cerulean
Download or read book I Have Been Assigned the Single Bird written by Susan Cerulean and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2020-08-01 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susan Cerulean’s memoir trains a naturalist’s eye and a daughter’s heart on the lingering death of a beloved parent from dementia. At the same time, the book explores an activist’s lifelong search to be of service to the embattled natural world. During the years she cared for her father, Cerulean also volunteered as a steward of wild shorebirds along the Florida coast. Her territory was a tiny island just south of the Apalachicola bridge where she located and protected nesting shorebirds, including least terns and American oystercatchers. I Have Been Assigned the Single Bird weaves together intimate facets of adult caregiving and the consolation of nature, detailing Cerulean’s experiences of tending to both. The natural world is the “sustaining body” into which we are born. In similar ways, we face not only a crisis in numbers of people diagnosed with dementia but also the crisis of the human-caused degradation of the planet itself, a type of cultural dementia. With I Have Been Assigned the Single Bird, Cerulean reminds us of the loving, necessary toil of tending to one place, one bird, one being at a time.
