The Birds of Standlake Common

by John Melling

Sightings since filling of this gravel pit – the first in the Lower Windrush Valley to be restored as a bird reserve – are summarised. Photographs of many of the rarer birds are included. Almost 180 species have been recorded on the reserve including Smew, Great White Egret, and Black-winged Stilt. The booklet is an excellent guide to the birds visible throughout the year both on and around the water from the hides and in the surrounding hedgerows.

The booklet is obtainable from the Secretary for £3.00
