Unlike the majority of books dealing with birds, this volume is of interest to the general reader and to the student of ornithology alike.
It is a book that enables the reader to identify our Sea-birds by name, to understand their movements, their habits, their nests and their eggs.
The Observer says:—“We marvel at the snapshots that have been taken of birds. Every movement of their flight is now recorded; the taking off, the alighting, the swooping, the settling, the ‘planing,’ the struggling against the wind. And they are just the birds which the ordinary man wants to know about, because he has such opportunities of seeing them for himself on any walk along the cliff.”
