Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 1 of 3 From the lateness of the period, in reference to the printing of these volumes, at which the occurrence of two examples of this Species in Ireland became known to me, I was only able to introduce a figure and a short notice on a single leaf in its place among the Eagles. The fur ther particulars here inserted may prove acceptable. This Eagle, very similar in its appearance to our well known Golden Eagle, but almost one-third smaller in size.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 3: With Coloured Illustrations of Their Eggs We may therefore leave the question of the classification of birds to the decision of the future, and, whilst recognizing its supreme import ance, regard it as a subject somewhat outside the scope of our present inquiry. The progress of ornithology in Britain may be conveniently studied in periods - the first comprising a century, the second half a century, and the third, fourth, and fifth each a quarter of a century.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of British Birds, Vol. 3 of 4 It is not within my province to consider the advisability of publishing under the honoured name of Yarrell a work which must necessarily be, to a great extent, rewritten but my portion of the task, once accepted, has been performed to the best of my ability. Where practicable, the original phraseology has been followed, with due modifications; the opening words of the sentences have frequently been pre served, as 'landmarks' for possessors of former Editions; and extracts from the authors and correspondents quoted by Yarrell have been retained, subject to considerations of space, relevancy, and accuracy. This work of selection and adapta tion has entailed severe labour, and, as a matter of fact, the original articles on the species added to the British list since the publication of the Third Edition, are those which have given the least trouble.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 1 Such a mass of material as has been furnished in the man ner indicated, enables the ornithologist of the present day also to rectify many statements made by his predecessors. In no respect, perhaps, is this fact more manifest than in determin ing the geographical range of species, whether in the fullest sense of the word British, or only occasional visitors to our shores. It will be remembered that precision on this point was made by Mr. Yarrell a prominent feature of his work and, when the amount of information at his disposal is taken into consideration, it must be conceded that he was therein eminently successful. The excellent example which he himself set by adding to or correcting statements bearing upon this important subject, in his successive Editions, will not be lost upon the new editor, nor will the equally suggestive alterations in the arrangement of certain species be neglected by him. When Mr. Yarrell had satisfied himself that his original allocation of certain forms had been erroneous, he did not hesitate to correct the mistake - as, for instance, the Pratincole and the Phalaropes, placed in his First Edition among the Rails and Coots, but subsequently, with unquestionable propriety, referred to the Plovers and Sandpipers. The editor, therefore, will not scruple to make such systematic changes as may be considered to be satisfactorily established. He is, however, desirous of stat ing that, in cases which may be still regarded as doubtful, he will, whatever be his own predilections, preserve the original order of Mr. Yarrell, thinking it a lesser evil to continue a possibly or even a probably erroneous arrange ment, than to offer a new one which time may show to be no improvement. The lax method, adopted by older writers on British Ornithology, of admitting any chance straggler from distant lands to a place beside the real inhabitants of this country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 3: Containing Forty-Three Coloured Engravings The Shore Lark is rather shy in its habits, but, when engaged with its young, sits very close, either through a temporary change of disposition, or from anxiety for its brood, as if conscious of the protection which nature has afforded to it in the assimilation of the colour of its plumage to that of the scanty verdure alone to be found where it has its dwelling. Should, however, danger seem to approach too closely, the anxious mother utters away from any chance intruder, feigning lameness so cunningly, that none but one accustomed to the sight could refrain from pursuit. Her partner immediately joins her in mimic wretchedness, uttering a soft and plaintive note. It would appear that these birds may be kept in confinement.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History British Birds British, Vol. 3 of 3 Nostrils lateral, basal, pierced longitudinally near the edges of the mandible, covered by a membrane. Legs moderate, slender, naked space on the tibia, but short, or entirely wanting; three toes before, one behind, the anterior toes entirely, or almost entirely, divided. Wings moderate, the first or the second quill-feather the longest in the wing. Although the eggs or the young of the Woodcock have been found, during one summer or another, in almost every county in England, as well as in several of those of Scotland, and also more frequently of late years than formerly, yet the great bulk of the species must be understood as only winter visitors, arriving early in October, or soon afterwards, and again departing northwards in March. Mr. Selby, one of our best observers, residing in the eastern part of Northumberland, and only four or five miles from the sea, says, "I have found that these birds always come over in the greatest bodies in hazy weather, with little wind, and that blowing from the north-east; and it is probable that they then find the upper region of the atmosphere, in which they fly, freer from counter currents of air, than in more open weather. After a night of this description I have frequently met with great numbers upon the edges of plantations, in hedges, and even in turnip-fields, and enjoyed excellent sport for the day; but on seeking, on the following morning, for a renewal of similar success, I have not found a single bird, the whole flight having proceeded on their course during the intervening night. It is during this time that Woodcocks, like most migratory birds, perform their journeys: and it seems probable that those which halt upon the eastern coast of Scotland, and the northern counties of England, have completed their task from shore to shore, between sunset and sunrise, as they appear but little fatigued on their arrival, provided the weather has been calm.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand-Book to the Birds of Great Britain, Vol. 1 Every ornithologist who, in the course of his career, may be called upon to write a book upon British Birds, will always find this to be one of the most interesting, but certainly one of the most difficult, tasks which he has ever undertaken. He is sure to discover that not only is the path well-worn, but that the work of his many predecessors has been so well done that little chance of originality remains to him. No country in the world has had more excellent books written about its birds than Great Britain, whether we consider illustrated works, such as those of Selby and Gould, or the attractive "Coloured Figures of British Birds," now being published by Lord Lil-ford; or the many exhaustive books on the life-histories of our native birds, such as those of Macgillivray, Yarrell, and others; or the excellent works on eggs published by Hewitson and Seebohm. Of the two leading publications on the subject, viz., those of Macgillivray and Yarrell, the palm for scientific merit must be given to that of the Scotch naturalist, and the increasing value of his works, day by day and year by year, testifies to an appreciation of his labour which would have gladdened and cheered him in his work, had such regard been bestowed upon him during his lifetime.
