The Birds of Sussex Book

This is the most detailed publication yet on the birdlife of Sussex. This once in a generation book by the Sussex Ornithological Society (SOS) describes the status and changing fortunes of all the wild birds of Sussex. Over two million bird records and four years of intensive Atlas survey work underpin this compelling book. Due out early 2014.

The Birds of Sussex is published by the SOS in partnership with the BTO and you can pre-order your copy here:  www.bto.org/sussex-birds 

The book is written by a team of the county's finest bird experts and edited by Adrian Thomas of the RSPB. For each of the 397 species on the Sussex list the book reveals:

• What birds are found where
• Why they are there
• 'Winners and losers' - those birds doing well and those in trouble
• What the threats and outlook are for each species

The book contains over 600 pages in full colour and stunning photographs of over 250 species, all taken in Sussex.

The pre-publication price is £20 for SOS members and £25 for non-members.
