Download or read book The Birds of London written by Andrew Self and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive avifauna for the London area ever published covering the status, distribution and history of every species on the regional list in rich detail. The parks, reservoirs, rooftops and gardens of London – here defined as the area within 20 miles of St Paul's Cathedral – have a surprisingly rich avifauna, including a healthy population of one of Britain's rarest breeders, the Black Redstart. The region also has a remarkable list of rarities – in recent years Canary Wharf has proven to be a magnet for vagrants, while one of the very few British records of Tengmalm's Owl hails from Plaistow – an unfortunate bird stoned to death by local urchins in 1877. Some species, like the Peregrine Falcon, Black-headed Gull and Ring-necked Parakeet, have seen their fortunes soar over recent decades; others, such as House Sparrow, have suffered a population collapse. While as recently as a century ago, the London area had breeding populations of birds such as Wryneck and Red-backed Shrike, which are now nationally extinct. The County Avifauna series provides detailed information on the range and status of bird species at county level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive site guide to a surprisingly bird-rich corner of England – Kent, Essex and the Greater London area. From the deep forests of Kent to the low-lying mudflats, beaches and saltmarshes of the Greater Thames Estuary, this ecologically rich area of England attracts vast numbers of wildfowl and waders. The region boasts many internationally and nationally important reserves including Rainham Marshes and Cliffe Pools, while Dungeness in Kent is one of Britain's best known birding hotspots for vagrant species such as Penduline Tit and Kentish Plover. London itself contains numerous birdwatching sites including Barnes and Woodberry Wetlands, along with some of the best spots in Britain for scarcities such as Lesser Spotted Woodpecker and Black Redstart. From Marsh Harrier and Firecrest to Curlew and Lapwing, there is plenty for birdwatchers to enjoy while exploring the parks, wetlands, woodlands and coast of southeast England. Written by life-long birdwatcher David Callahan, this is the definitive guide to the birding highlights of the region. It contains a comprehensive review of all the major sites and many lesser-known ones, with maps, notes on access, and information on target species and when to visit. Where to Watch Birds in Southeast England is indispensable for any birder exploring the region, or anyone in London wanting to head out to the countryside and enjoy a slice of our rich avian heritage.

Download or read book Saving the Diamonds written by Paul Gage and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-10-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nazis in 1938 are making aggressive political moves to be supreme in Europe. Nazi Germanys war machine needs guns, cannons, tanks, and aircraft. Germanys industry needs industrial-grade diamonds for this explosive rearmament. But Germany lacks industrial diamonds and raw materials for its war production. The Royal Navy must now prepare for a new struggle with Germany. New ships will take years to build. Drawing on its reserves and modernizing mothballed ships, the Royal Navys preparations must be accelerated. HM Destroyer Demeter is rebuilt and commissioned in 1939 with a mixed crew of seasoned salts and new sailors from the training schools. Joining the Demeter is midshipman James Vanier, just nineteen years old and fresh from a yearlong officer training program. He is fulfilling his dream of entering the navy. The Demeter is in action from the first day of the war against Nazi Germany. Saving the Diamonds is the Demeters story of combat on the North Sea as seen by James Vanier. Challenged by convoy duty, battling Nazi destroyers, sea mines, fighting off Nazi bombers and dive bombers, James Vanier and Demeter face their sternest test when the Germans attack Holland in May 1940! The Demeter is given a special assignment. The industrial diamonds Germany needs are in Rotterdam and Antwerp. The Demeter must survive battles with the German Navy and the fanatical Luftwaffe bombers to bring the industrial diamonds back to England!
