The Golden Oriole by Paul Mason
An authoritative yet highly readable monograph on one of Britain's rarest yet most spectacular breeding birds, the Golden Oriole. This is the latest title in the acclaimed series of Poyser monographs.
'this monograph is an absolute must..the authors helped set up the Golden Oriole Group, so there's all the expetise you could want...it's a price well worth paying' Bird Watching (October 2009) 'This monograph fills a gap in the literature at a point when the species' future as a British breeding bird hangs in the balance.' Birding World (2009) 'The enthusiasm of the authors, their detailed knowledge and precise documentation of their work, and chapters such as 'Population: past,present and future'...give the book its special character and everyone interested in orioles should have it on their bookshelf.' Bulletin of the British Ornithologists Union (2010)
Jake Allsop and Paul Mason are the Secretary and Chairman respectively of the Golden Oriole Group. Working closely with the RSPB, the GOG has monitored and helped to protect the UK population of orioles in their fenland stronghold for more than twenty years.Allsop and Mason were at the forefront of the ultimately successful battle to save the orioles' last breeding area, Lakenheath in Suffolk, from deforestation.
