Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naturalist, 1909: A Monthly Journal of Natural History for the North of England IF scarcity be the touchstone of our interest in any bird, then surely the Stone Curlew is the most interesting resident Species in Yorkshire, the northern limit of its breeding range in Britain. Some 150 years ago, prior to the introduction of the present system of agriculture on the high wolds and waste lands of the county, when huge stretches of sandy warren and sheep-walk existed, the bird must have been as common as it still is in some parts of Norfolk and Suffolk, but at the present day it is almost extinct in our county. This change of conditions may be traced to the introduction of the turnip, by which alone the present rotation of crops became possible.
