Norman Elkins (who I worked with for a brief time at Lossiemouth),
wrote a book on the subject of Weather and Bird Migration - I
believe it is still regarded as a solid reference for the subject:
don't know if it is still available though.

According to Amazon, the third edition of "Weather and Bird
Behaviour" (if this is the book you mean) will be published next
month:

No unusual birds, but I did find a wasp in my room yesterday!
