Overview

Moult in Birds, by H B Ginn & D S Melville was published by BTO in 1983 and reprinted in 1995. It has since been out of print. The work set out to give a brief summary of the nature and variety of plumage in UK birds, to provide a basic text on techniques for recording moult and moult patterns, and to indicate gaps in our knowledge of the subject.

In more detail

In addition to the general summaries that make up the initial chapters, there is a systematic species-by-species account of the moult patterns and durations of UK birds.
