Sinossi
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.
