There appears to be no record whatever of this species throughout the Outer Hebrides, until we find Prof. Duns's statement that it "appears in winter, and is commoner in summer than the Redwing." Although Prof. Duns correctly states that six species of Tmdidie occur in Lewis, there seems to be some confusion as to the occurrence of the Missel Thrush and Redwing. Through all our returns of Migration Schedules we cannot find a single entry which could be unhesitatingly put down to this species. Turdus musicus, L. Song Thrush. Gaelic--Ltstag: Smeorach.--A. C. Has apparently always been recorded as common, from MacGillivray's time downwards, and by all observers as a breeding species. It is well known all over the Hebrides by its Gaelic name, and is marked as "permanently resident" by Gray. Ehves considered it extremely common in Harris and Lewis, but less so in Uist, with which remark we quite agree. The shelter and nature of the ground in Harris and Lewis suit them better, and, as Elwes rightly remarks, there is there more molluscous food. In 1881 we found them nesting among the heather, close to Loch Hamanaway, on the west of Lewis, often miles away from houses; and around Stornoway they were very abundant amongst the young woods, as certified by many earlier records. We find a note in our journal that on the 13th

Download or read book The Economy of a Norse Settlement in the Outer Hebrides written by Niall Sharples and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 1225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the economic evidence for the settlement at Bornais on South Uist. It reports in detail on the large assemblages of material found during the excavations at mounds 2 and 2A. There is important evidence for craft activity, such as bone and antler working and this includes the only comb making workshop from a rural settlement in Britain. A large proportion of the copper alloy, bone and antler assemblages comprise pieces of personal adornment and provide important information on the dress and thereby social relations within the settlement occupation. There is a large assemblage of iron tools and fittings, which provides important information on the activities taking place at the settlement. The information derived from the artefact assemblages is complemented by that provided by the ecofactual material. Large amounts of animal, fish and bird bones plus carbonised plant remains provide detailed information on agricultural practices, and the processing, preparation and consumption of foodstuffs. It is clear that the Norse inhabitants of the settlement had access to a much richer variety of resources than had been exploited before the Viking colonisation of the region. The settlement also had a significantly wider range of connections; material culture indicates contacts to the south with the Irish Sea ports and Bristol, and to the north with Shetland and the Viking homelands of Norway. The evidence produced by these excavations is exceptional and provides an unparalleled opportunity to explore medieval life in the Scandinavian kingdoms of Western Britain.

Download or read book International Wildfowl Inquiry Volume 2 The Status and Distribution of Wild Geese and Wild Duck in Scotland written by John Berry and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the century leading up to this book's publication in 1941, there had been a complete revolution in conditions governing the habits and numbers of wildfowl in many parts of the world. Industrial innovations such as the breech-loading gun, the steam-engine, and the internal combustion engine not only increased destruction, but, by disturbance of previously quiet resting places, led to vast changes in distribution. In most locations, these changes were masked by seasonal fluctuations, and too slow for the average wildfowler to notice. But it began to be realised, especially in North America, that the number of wildfowl was seriously diminishing. To obtain accurate information, the International Committee for Bird Preservation adopted a far-reaching scheme of investigation and inquiry. This first publication gives the results of the investigations in Scotland. It attempts to record a distributional index and practical estimate of a country's total stock of wildfowl.
