Birds, bogs and forestry: The peatlands of Caithness and Sutherland 1988

Abstract

This publication summarises the results of NCC’s Upland Bird Survey undertaken by the Nature Conservancy Council (NCC) in the Flow Country of Caithness and Sutherland between 1979 and 1986. The report analysed and published the data from those surveys, together with those obtained from eight sites in Caithness surveyed by RSPB in 1985 using NCC methods. 

This report is complementary to The Flow Country: The peatlands of Caithness and Sutherland which summarised NCC’s detailed surveys of peatland vegetation in the Flow Country.

In 2008, British Wildlife published a thorough review of the events leading to, and following from, the publication of Birds, bogs and forestry (Scott, M. 2008. The Flow Country revisited. British Wildlife. 19(4), 229-239).
