Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Nests and Eggs of British Birds: When and Where to Find Them; Being a Handbook to the Oology of the British Islands
The idea of a work on the Nests and Eggs of British Birds occurred to me some twelve years ago; and from that time to the present I have been carefully collecting facts, examining specimens, and so oh, with the object of forminga comprehensive handbook to British Oology. The results of my studies are now presented to the reader in the following pages. Most of my information has been obtained from personal observation; and with very few exceptions I have taken with my own hands nests and eggs of all our British species; whilst with most of them I have extended my observations over periods of many years.
