Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field-Studies of Some Rarer British Birds To-day we live with nature, and books on British birds are very numerous, perhaps too numerous, since many of them are but a repetition - and often a bad repetition - of their forbears. Possibly, therefore, the sole merit of these essays rests on the fact that practically all the matter contained in them comes from long, personal observation and research. They may, indeed, be described as "Field-Studies of Some Rarer British Birds." Most of the species selected are really scarce, or, at any rate, extremely local; while one or two - notably the Kite - are very rare indeed. All the same, even by some ornithologists proper as opposed to the casual nature-lover, most rare birds are considered rarer than they are in reality. Of these the Chough affords one good example, the Raven another, the Peregrine a third, the Buzzard a fourth, the Golden Eagle a fifth, and so on. A long Preface is out of place, so I will merely add that, wherever those dangerous adverbs "always" and "never" occur, they apply to personal observation only.

Book Synopsis A Pocket-Book of British Birds (Classic Reprint) by : E. F. M. Elms
Download or read book A Pocket-Book of British Birds (Classic Reprint) written by E. F. M. Elms and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Pocket-Book of British Birds As introductory to this little book, I think it is desirable that its object should, in the first place, be explained. It is intended solely for the purposes of reference in the field, and has been very carefully compiled by the combined aid of well-known ornithological works, coupled with practical observations and notes made by myself from time to time in various parts of the British Isles. The book is of a small size, and should be carried in the pocket, where it would always be handy. I am aware that an alphabetical arrangement has much to commend it, but I have refrained from adopting such for the very reason that, in the field, as elsewhere, the mind should be trained to regard birds as creatures belonging to some distinct order and family; accordingly I have adopted a scientific arrangement similar to that set forth in Howard Saunders's admirable 'Manual of British Birds, ' a comprehensive work that all lovers and students of Ornithology, requiring more complete information, should at once consult. Information will be found about all British birds that breed in these islands, and those that are regular visitors at one time of the year or another. Rare species - in some cases irregular stragglers and perhaps unwilling visitors - hardly come within the scope of this book, as the chances of seeing them during a country ramble are very slight. Dismissing at once those species of which only a few specimens have been observed or obtained in this country, there yet remain a goodly number of rare birds, and a short note about them is given, either because in many cases, though irregular in their visits, they may be seen in considerable numbers when they do come, or because, though admittedly rare, they so closely resemble other commoner kinds, that it is quite possible they may have been overlooked.

Book Synopsis British Birds by : Frederick B. Kirkman
Download or read book British Birds written by Frederick B. Kirkman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Birds: Descriptions of All the Commoner Species, Their Nests and Eggs The object of this book is to make as easy as limits of space permit the recognition of all the British species, their nests and eggs, except the rarest. The descriptions have been written with an eye to the requirements of the non-specialist observer, and, if the instructions on p. Viii are followed, they should prove adequate for practical purposes. Descriptions of the female bird and of the young are given only when these differ markedly from the adult male. Like wise seasonal changes of plumage are ignored unless marked enough to make a description necessary for identification. The descriptions and measurements of eggs follow for the most part those of the Rev. F. C. R Jourdain in the British Bird Book. Complete descriptions of nests have yet to be written, the range of material used by particular species being much greater than the standard works would lead one to suppose. The descriptions here given will, however, suffice for purposes of identification. The short notes on migration and distribution, and other information as to time of laying, &c., are introduced solely to aid identification by showing when and where the species and their eggs are to be found. Limitations of space make it obviously impossible to give anything but the strict minimum of information necessary for this purpose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Concise Handbook of British Birds Although the urgent need for compression has prohibited the author from presenting this work as a complete natural history of British Birds, yet he believes that as a handy textbook for reference it has had as yet no rivals. It has been brought up to date as far as possible, every species on the British list having been included, and nearly all described, while the records Of the rarer species have been carefully collected, and in the case Of the common species a tolerably complete life-history has been given. The numbering Of the genera and species will also probably prove Of service. The length Of a bird is (unless otherwise stated) measured from the base Of bill to tip Of tail, all measure ments being in inches and hundredth-parts. The description first given is (unless expressly mentioned) that Of a bird in breeding plumage, 'but the seasonal changes, if appreciable, are added. The habitat may be taken as meaning the region inhabited during the breeding season, but the winter range Of migratory species has usually been added. If brackets enclose a describer's name they indicate that the generic name adopted is not that used by the describer.

Download or read book British Birds Their Eggs written by J. Maclair Boraston and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Birds Their Eggs: With a New Method of Identification Tms book has been written with the exclusively practi cal object of enabling persons unacquainted with British birds to identify them by their most obvious characteristics. Handbooks hitherto designed for this purpose have, by classi tying the birds according to genera and species, or by arranging them merely in alphabetical order, failed to meet this need. For it is obvious that a beginner who wishes to identify a bird he has observed for the first time, and therefore one of which he does not know the name, cannot turn up the de scription of it by the aid of an alphabetical list. Nor can he be expected to know where to turn to find it in a book wherein birds are grouped according to generic distinctions, about which as yet he knows nothing! The observations of beginners relate to broad distinctions of colour and markings, then to peculiarities in the gestures and notes of birds, and so on, and it is only by seeking to see birds with the eye of a beginner that one can assist him to the knowledge of what he does not know, as a natural development from what he himself may observe with no other equipment than his own eyes. Any other method involves an attempt to explain the unknown by what is equally unknown. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketch-Book of British Birds Of these four hundred and forty-five species, there are doubtless several that have no real claim to be considered British at all. The evidence of the capture of many of the specimens is not convincing, and many species are included in the British Avil'auna on untrustworthy data. They have been, however, on the British list [or so many years that any attempt to shake the authenticity of their occurrence by a single author may be resented.

Download or read book A Handbook of British Birds written by J. E. Harting and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of British Birds: Showing the Distribution of the Resident and Migratory Species in the British Islands With an Index to the Records of the Rarer Visitants Following upon the daily exigencies of official work, the preparation of this volume has occupied the leisure hours of many years, and as an attempt to show in one volume the precise status of every so-called British bird, distinguishing the rare and accidental visitors from the residents and annual migrants, it conveys information of a kind which is not to be found in any other work on British birds. Divided into two parts, the first portion deals with British Birds properly so called, being residents, periodical migrants, and annual visitants; the second portion includes the Rare and accidental visitants, and a special feature of the book is that in the case of every rare bird a list of occurrences is given, from the publication of the earliest records (so far as has been ascertained) down to the end of the year 1900. The reader is thereby enabled to estimate at a glance the precise nature of the claim which any given species has to be considered British. Some notion of the labour entailed may be formed when it is stated that 'the number of references in Part I. Amounts to 1500; in Part II. To 2325, and in the whole work to 3825, or there abouts.
