I have seen them in very large numbers in Glou'cestershire, Somerset, and Wilts in the fall of the year, on marshy and swampy grounds. Nest and Eggs. The former is generally constructed under the cover of some small bush, or tuft of grass, particularly on low-lying meadows. It is composed of dried grass, with an inner lining of wool or hair. Five eggs are generally the number of the clutch, of a greyish mottled brown colour, the markings apparently covering the whole of the ground colouration. Time: May, June, and July.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Birds for Cages and Aviaries: A Handbook Relating to All British Birds, Which May Be Kept in Confinement "What, another bird-book!" someone may feel tempted to exclaim, on reading the title of the present volume; "surely there are enough of them and to spare." But is that so? When a subject is practically inexhaustible and as yet only its merest outside fringe has been touched upon, it is obvious that there is still something to be said about it, especially as new facts are being noted every day, and discoveries made that were undreamt of even a short time before. Further, there is as much to unlearn as to learn. If history has been built up out of fable, as some assert is the case, much more is this true of Natural History, which is founded, not only on fable, but on ignorance and prejudice as well. Error is tenacious of existence - as hard to kill, indeed as the proverbial cat - and one reason for this is that when the average person has accepted or imagined a mistake, cuddled, petted, and made much of it for years and years not to speak of pledging his credit on its behalf, it takes a good deal of persuading to induce him to cast it adrift and transfer his affections to the truth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Birds, Vol. 2: June 1908 May 1909 The papers which have appeared in the pages of the volume now completed do not lose, we venture to think, by comparison with the contents of Volume I.; while the increase in the number of contributors may be taken, not only as an indication that british birds justifies its existence, but no less as a sign that the study of our native avifauna is being pursued in a wider, and yet more thorough fashion than heretofore. In the excellent series of articles on Early British Ornithologists and their Works, we have been given a glimpse into the past, for which our readers will, we feel sure, join us in thanking Mr. W.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Birds, Vol. 4 The vear covered by our fourth volume has been marked by a steady advance rather than by any very striking event in British ornithology. The interest in the Marking Scheme continues to grow, and the recoveries already announced show excellent promise for the future. Such an inquiry must necessarily be continued for some years before results of real value can be obtained, but we now feel assured that the ringing of birds, if conducted on a scale equal to that of last year, will be the means of our gaining a considerable knowledge of the exact movements of individual birds - a subject of which we now know practically nothing. We ma}, here again express our gratitude to those numerous readers who, by their enthusiastic co-operation, are making the scheme a success.

Download or read book A History of British Birds Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by William Yarrell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 2 Tarsus scutellate in front, covered at the sides with an undivided plate, forming a sharp ridge behind, about as long as the middle toe. Claws but slightly curved, that of the hind toe elongated. Whatever differences of opinion once existed, it has long since been ascertained that the Mountain -, the Tawny and the Snow-Bunting of old authors, are only names for one and the same species in different states of plumage; but to whom belongs the credit of establishing this fact beyond dispute is by no means clear. Linnaeus indeed never faltered in his opinion of their identity, though Pennant and, after him, Latham for some time, took the contrary view. Turton, in 1807, was perhaps the first British naturalist who united the three supposed species into one. This was also done on the continent by Wolf in 1810, by Temminck in 1815 and by Koch in 1816; but both at home and abroad they were regarded as distinct by others, and Montagu maintained to the last the separation of Emberiza montana, though allowing that E. mustelina and E. nivalis might be specifically identified, on the evidence apparently of his friend Foljambe, an excellent practical ornithologist, - who in a letter to him said "a few years ago, I shot more than forty from the same flock, during severe weather in the month of January, hardly any two of which exhibited precisely the same plumage, but varied from the perfect Tawny to the Snow-Bunting in its whitest state; the feathers of those of the intermediate state being more or less charged with white." The Snow-Bunting or Snow-flake is generally considered only a winter-visitor to this country, and to the other temperate parts of Europe; large flocks, consisting chiefly of the young birds of the year, bred in high northern latitudes, annually visiting our islands in autumn. But there is little doubt that some pairs breed every summer in the Highlands of Scotland, while the nest and eggs have been several times found in Unst the most northerly of the Shetlands.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of British Birds, Vol. 2: With Coloured Illustrations of Their Eggs The results of the investigation are not quite so satisfactory as might have been expected. There are so many cases which cannot be explained by protective selection, that the student, not being able in this instance to fall back upon sexual selection, is obliged to assume that many effects are the results of extinct causes. To my mind they are suggestive rather of other powerful factors in addition to protective and sexual selection H. S.
