This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Monograph of the Hirundinidae, or Family of Swallows, Vol. 2 On taking possession of our native house at Tamsuy, I observed a nest of this Swallow under the rafters in the central hall. It was exteriorly built of specks of mud, like the nests of the Martin, but had a neck-like entrance, giving the whole the form of a French ask, attened against the roof; the inside was lined amply with feathers. Pallas's figure gives a very good idea of its structure. The mouth, however, 'does not always point upwards, but is adapted in form and direction to the shape of the spot against which it is placed. At the close of March the pair to which the nest belonged returned, and in April began to repair the old nest. Towards the close of this month the female was sitting on three white, unspotted eggs. The male and female share the duties of incubation, the female usually taking the longest spell. For the sake of science, we let the birds have their own way, though they made a great mess about our small house, and nearly drove us wild with their loud discordant twittering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Monograph of the Hirundinidae, Vol. 1: Or Family of Swallows For the convenience of binding this work we have divided it into two volumes, but it was originally written with the idea of forming a single volume only. The unexpected growth of the material at our disposal and the discovery of new species have caused the work to extend far beyond the limits originally proposed by us, and therefore the division of the volume into two portions may be found more convenient. The paging, however, is consecutive, as is also the numbering of the Plates, throughout both of the proposed volumes, as the numbering of the Plates had been settled before the idea of a subdivision of the work occurred to us. It remains only to thank the many friends who have interested themselves in our labours, and to assure them that the long delay in the completion of the volumes has been caused by the pressure of official work, and also by a desire to make the book as complete a 'Monograph' as was possible. Thus great attention has been devoted to the migration and geographical distribution of the interesting birds of which the volumes treat, and we hope that the introduction of the "Tables of Geographical Distribution," with the symbols agreed upon by the "Second International Congress" at Budapest, will be found instructive, as well as the illustration, by means of coloured maps, of the range of each species. To our excellent printers, Messrs. Taylor and Francis, we owe our heartiest acknowledgments for the care and attention they have shown. The colouring of the Plates has been executed by Miss Bertha Sharpe and Miss Dora Sharpe, with the occasional help of their sisters Emily and Eva. In the early parts they were assisted by Miss Florence Wilson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Handbook to the Swallows and Martins of the World written by Angela Turner and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-06-30 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reference guide gives general details about the swallows and martins of the world. These include appearance, the basic coloration and differences between the sexes and immatures and the function of other areas of colouring. Several species within the same geographical area are often segregated by feeding in different habitats or at different heights or by eating different size-classes of insects. The two sub-families, one being the two river martins, the other containing about 72 species mainly in the genus hirundo, are dealt with, including their distribution and migration patterns. Feeding, courtship and breeding habits are considered, together with details of nesting sites, clutch size, incubation and life-span. Finally, the population sizes of the various species are examined, noting that whilst many have expanded their range by using man-made structures, forest species probably remain small and one species, the Red Sea swallow is known from only one specimen. The book follows the same approach, style and presentation as The Herons Handbook published in 1985. It is illustrated by the winner of the prestigious British Birds Illustrator of the Year Award and the author has contributed to many scientific papers and journals including BBC's Wildlife Magazine.

Download or read book The Swallow written by Stephen Moss and published by Random House. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of The Robin, The Wren and The Twelve Birds of Christmas. With around 700,000 breeding pairs, the swallow is one of the most familiar birds in Britain. Though we consider the swallow to be 'our' bird, we also share this beloved creature with millions of others across the globe. Whilst we see it on a daily basis for half the year, the swallow then flies south to Africa, living on only in our memory in the long, dark winter. In The Swallow Stephen Moss documents a year of observing the swallow close to home and in the field to shed light on the secret life of this extraordinary bird. We trace the swallow's life cycle and journey, including the epic 12,000-mile round trip it takes every year, to enable it to enjoy a life of almost eternal sunshine, and the key part the swallow plays in our traditional and popular culture. With beautiful illustrations throughout, this captivating year-in-the-life biography reveals the hidden secrets of this charismatic and beautiful bird. PRAISE FOR STEPHEN MOSS: 'A superb naturalist and writer' Chris Packham 'Inspired, friendly and blessed with apparently limitless knowledge' Peter Marren 'Moss has carved out an enviable niche as a chronicler of the natural world' Daily Mail
