About the book >.>.> OF late years the study of ornithology has become much more popular and widespread and, although there are many fine reference works covering birds in Scotland and some good local books, there has never been a comprehensive work on the Birds of Scotland. It seemed well, therefore, that these scattered records, many of great value, should be gathered together to form a compre-hensive work. This is what the authors have tried to do and to show also how much the character of the country influences its bird-life. There are four Introductory chapters, comprising a Description of Scotland, Some Factors which Influence our Bird Life, The Composition of the Scottish Avifauna and Migration, after which the authors have endeavoured to chronicle the history, present distribution, and migration of all the birds on the Scottish list. The distribution has been made as complete as records and personal work permitted. Beginning in the south-west the st. Codice articolo Batch-FM605-G-12754
