In 1910, the Duchess of Bedford was honoured as one of the first five Honorary Lady Members of the British Ornithological Union. She spent much of her time between 1909 and 1914 doing bird-watching and research on Fair Isle and in her lifetime she extensively documented bird populations on remote Scottish islands like Fair Isle and St Kilda. Her fieldwork closely intersected with the career of James Fisher (19121970), one of the most famous British naturalists, ornithologists, and authors of the 20th century who followed Lady Bedford's timeline of research and cited her historical data. An interesting copy with an even more interesting connection. Please contact Christian White Rare Books Ltd for more information or images of this item. …
