Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of Shetland: With Observations on Their Habits, Migration, and Occasional AppearanceJust twenty years ago, my dear brother was preparing, with all the eagerness of a boy naturalist, to be the companion of my second visit to Shetland, where the summer was to be spent as we 10 ved best to spend it; nor is it altogether without a strange sort of fitness that he now hands me the result of his work thus begun, as he passes out of our Sight for a while. Yet the task of giving it to the world is far from easy to one who has for so many years been out of the track of natural science, though loving no earthly thing so well. I can claim but a single merit for my share in the book, - that of accuracy: for the rest, allowance must be generously made for short comings almost inseparable from work thrown unexpectedly upon a parish priest, only able to give to it the hours which could be spared, and ill spared, from occupations of a wholly.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ...one I have always experienced a considerable amount of difficulty in restoring the feathers of the back of the neck to their original position. THE COMMON SANDPIPER. Totanus hypoleucos. It was not until the year 1869 that I was able to procure for identification so much as a single specimen of this bird, when, on the 2d of July, Robert Mouat not only shot a pair at the Loch of Cliff, but had a chase after the young as they ran among the long grass. This is the only direct evidence of its breeding in Shetland; though that it does so regularly is pretty certain, for during the summer months the bird is often heard and sometimes seen. Messrs Baikie and Heddle consider it merely an occasional visitor to Orkney. Thomas Edmondston's singular mistake of recording this species as a winter visitor to Shetland was afterwards corrected by himself. Somewhat later in the above-named year, I myself shot one from a small party, perhaps a family. It fell, winged, into the water, and remained swimming leisurely about while I pushed off the boat and rowed up; but the bird dived the moment I attempted to seize it, and although I kept a strict look-out all round upon the dead-calm surface of the water it never reappeared. Another singular fact in connection with the habits of this bird is its, at any rate occasional, terror at thunder. I remember as a boy, in the autumn of 1850, trying for several days to get near some Common Sandpipers which had appeared upon the rocky shore near Dunnose, in the Isle of Wight, but so wild were they that not even a long shot could be obtained. One afternoon while I was endeavouring to stalk them, a heavy thunderstorm came on, and during one remarkably heavy peal I observed the birds fluttering to the shelter of the rocks;...
