The new avifauna of Sussex birds |
|
In 1996 the SOS published Birds of Sussex, which proved a great success and sold out within a few years. This book reflected the results of the 1988-92 national Breeding Birds Atlas.
Much has happened to Sussex’s birds, and to book publishing, since then! In 2014 a new book about the birds of Sussex will be published. Adrian Thomas is its Editor and a team of SOS writers is currently writing it. The book will be published for the Society by the BTO.
Key features will be:
- Full colour
- Almost 600 pages
- Definitive accounts of every species ever seen in Sussex, charting their mixed fortunes and including expert analysis of the 2007-11 atlas maps
- The most comprehensive set of photos of birds taken in Sussex, by over 40 volunteer photographers
- Sections on the county's habitats, migration and nature conservation, and the outlook for birds in the county
We are targeting to launch the book at Conference in January 2014 and to make a pre-publication offer of it in the second half of 2013.
Book publication is expensive but to date we have raised over £20,000 in sponsorship to keep the price of the book at a reasonable level. However, we still are looking for more sponsorship so if you would like to sponsor a species please click here to find out which species are still available.
