In addition, the species accounts note fluctuations which have occurred and give their cause wherever these are known or may be surmised." The author also reviews extinctions, colonisations and changes in breeding populations in general, showing that there were, at time of publication, "more bird species breeding in Britain and Ireland today than at any time since 1800."
