An up-to-date and user-friendly account of the status of all 271 bird species recorded on the wildlife-rich islands of Tiree and Coll in the Inner Hebrides. Tracing records from historical times to the present day, the book charts the changing fortunes over the years of the wide range of breeding and wintering species that occur. In addition, it highlights the increasing number of scarcer migrants recorded in recent years, as the islands' potential for hosting rare birds has become more widely known. Introductory sections include information on the geography and land-use of the islands, which have shaped the habitats that we see today, as well as how birds have featured in local folklore. Also included are where and when to watch sections that aim to assist the reader in observing the special birds of the islands, plus details of other wildlife that can be seen.
