ISBN10: 8496553639, ISBN13: 9788496553637, [publisher: Barcelona: Lynx Edicions, 2010.] Hardcover Quarto, dustwrapper,138 pp.,illustrations. The book has been written by seven experts in biology and agriculture and compiled by the Dutch Centre for Agriculture and Environment (CLM). It covers all the major farmland habitats of the world, from grasslands to rice fields, and from arable land to coffee cultivations. The book details more than 500 species of farmland birds, 160 of which are illustrated. It takes the reader on a journey; from common birds, such as the Cattle egret which is found across the globe, to such rarities as the Crested ibis in Chinese rice fields, the Crimson rosella in Australian orchards, and the Burrowing owl of North American grasslands. The diversity and beauty of farmland birds is overwhelming. Much of this birdlife, however, is in decline or under threat. The book identifies the many challenges that farmland birds face, such as intensification and greater mechanisation of farming. It also explores the opportunities available for protecting and supporting farmland birds, and highlights actions that can and have been taken.
