Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oologists' Record, 1921, Vol. 1: A Quarterly Magazine Devoted to the Advancement of Oology in All Parts of the World Ploceus bojem' [(hartl. Pfusch) Calm], Bojer's Weaver was commoner on Mombasa Island than on the mainland. Nests were usually within reach, on tall slender shrubs. I took one clutch of 3, but 2 was usual. I did not find the differences in colour mentioned by Reichenow, my series of over twenty eggs showing little variation. On the whole they reminded me of the eggs of P. Dimidiatus (antin. Salvad.) of Uganda, both in colour and size, which is curious, as the birds are placed in different sub-genera.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oologists' Record, Vol. 3: March 1, 1923 Beyond the upper brow of the spur by which we had mounted was an apparently limitless stretch, flat, bare, and lifeless - tussocky in places, with innumerable patches of small gravelly-white stones - a desolate region of gray moss and harsh short grass. Here we stopped for a little - took our bearings, separated, then decided it was hopeless. And at the very moment of our decision a Dotterel fluttered at my feet! Immediately I stood quite still and looked round me. The little creature was behaving in the most piteous fashion, running backwards and forwards, all round me and sometimes actually between my feet, her wings, drenched with the mist, trailing on the ground and her beautiful white-tipped tail spread out like a fan. All the time she cried distressingly - a plaintive, querulous squeak of utter abandonment and misery. Presently I caught sight of the eggs a yard so from where I stood - but even before I reached them the Dotterel had settled herself quite comfortably on them, so that I had literally to lift her off. At this point I should like to observe that, although I have throughout referred to this Dotterel as the female, I have no other reason for doing so than a purely sentimental one. The plumage was certainly very bright and the chestnut tints especially showy and definite - but I afterwards met with so many birds in which every intermediate shade occurred that I should be loth to pronounce an opinion as to sex of a member of the species, even at close quarters, without actual dissection. The nest was a small and very shallow depression on a flat hummock of soil almost bare of vegetation, and beyond a scrap or two of moss and a few blades of grass, which had probably drifted there accidentally, had no lining or other preparation of any kind. The flat hummock lay between two patches of the white stones before referred to, and all round it the ground seemed to have been worn or washed quite bare of growth, possibly by snow. On the whole it was not such a "picture" as I had been led to expect, and I was to a certain extent disappointed accordingly, even although it was the first Dotterel's nest I had ever seen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the life of Henry Dresser (1838–1915), one of the most productive British ornithologists of the mid-late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and is largely based on previously unpublished archival material. Dresser travelled widely and spent time in Texas during the American Civil War. He built enormous collections of skins and eggs of birds from Europe, North America and Asia, which formed the basis of over 100 publications, including some of the finest bird books of the late nineteenth century. Dresser was a leading figure in scientific society and in the early bird conservation movement; his correspondence and diaries reveal the inner workings, motivations, personal relationships and rivalries that existed among the leading ornithologists.
