Not illustrated. 1912 edition. Excerpt: ... BIRDS MET WITH BY THE WILDFOWLER MUTE SWAN Cygnus olor (J. E. Gntelin) The Mute Swan is a more or less domesticated species in this country, although it is not improbable that in hard winters a few really wild examples visit the British Isles. It is an inhabitant of the Palaearctic region. The adults are white. It may be distinguished from the Hooper Swan by the black protuberance at the base of the upper mandible. The young are uniform greyish brown. Length about 60 in. HOOPER SWAN Cygnus musicus (Bechstetn) This swan is a common winter visitor to our islands. The adults are white. Immatures are ashy brown above, lighter below. Length 60 in. BEWICK'S SWAN Cygnus bewicki (Yarrell) This species of swan is similar to the Hooper Swan, but may be distinguished by its smaller size and the shape of the yellow patch on the upper mandible. Length 48 in. It is a fairly common autumn and winter visitor to the British Islands. LESSER SNOW GOOSE Chen hyperboreus (Pallas) This is a North American species breeding in Arctic regions and wandering south in winter. It is a rare abnormal autumn migrant to the British Isles. It has occurred several times in Ireland, and small flocks were seen in Cumberland, Northumberland, and Yorkshire during the severe winter of 1890-1. The adult is pure white, with black quills. The young have the upper plumage greyish, brownish grey on the back, and whitish on the under parts. Legs and feet pale slate colour; bill black. Length from 29 to 30 in. GREY LAG GOOSE Anser cinereus (Meyer) Although about a century ago this bird used to nest in the fens of Cambridge and Lincolnshire, and the carrs of Yorkshire, it has long since ceased to do so, and it can now only be found breeding in the north of Scotland and in the Outer...

Download or read book The Wildfowler A Treatise on Fowling Ancient and Modern History of Shooting Series Wildfowling written by H. C. Folkard and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1859, this scarce early work on Wildfowling in all its various forms, is both expensive and hard to find in any edition. We have now republished the third and best edition of 1875, using the original text and engravings. The author was an acknowledged expert in the art of wildfowling, and this book is probably the best researched and most descriptive early title on this increasingly popular field sport. It ranks among the highest class of sporting literature. The book's substantial four hundred and thirty six pages contain numerous comprehensive chapters, including: Fowling; Ancient Methods; History of Decoys (nine chapters); Decoy Ducks; The Flight Pond; Wild Fowl Shooting; The Fowler's Dog; Language of Wild Fowl; Flight of Wild Fowl; The Gunning Punt; Punt Guns; Management of the Punt Gun; Punting by Daylight; The Sailing Punt; Night Punting; Goose Shooting; The Quarry (20 detailed chapters); Wild Swan Shooting; Shooting Yachts, Boats and Canoes; The Cripple Chase; Wild Duck Shooting; Coastal Shooting; Fenland Shooting; Methods of Capturing Woodcock; Laws Affecting Wild Fowl; Fowling Abroad (11 chapters); Rock Fowling in The Shetlands, Orkney and St. Kilda; Wildfowling Ashore by Night; Snipe and Woodcock Shooting; Etc, etc. The contents are nicely illustrated with full page steel engravings and several wood-cuts. This is a fascinating read for any dedicated shooting man, fowler, or historian of the sport, but also contains much information that is still useful and practical today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the phenomena which explain the boom in sport among the middle classes in late Victorian England. The author focuses on the extent to which sport became an agent of the development of the middle classes and an instrument of their self-definition. The book does not set out to explain the making of the English middle classes; rather, it examines a significant part of that making.
