Larks, Pipits and Wagtails

The aim of this book is to review the British larks, pipits and wagtails. There are three broad introductory chapters on their emergence and range and on the characteristics of the genera. Single chapters are devoted to 11 separate species, while two cover the rarer migrants or vagrants on the British list. The last two chapters deal with the movements of the major species and the author's personal view of the current and future status of these birds in Britain.
