Birds' Eggs and Nests

This text contains a comprehensive handbook pertaining to the correct identification of birds, describing their eggs and nests as to enable the young ornithologist to identify them. This antique text was written with the amateur in mind, but also serves as a great reference for seasoned bird watchers and makes for a great addition to any collection of ornithological literature. The book contains two sections, 'Some General Observations' and 'Descriptions of Nests and Eggs', which comprise information on many varieties of birds common to England, including: Missel Thrush, Song Thrush, Blackbird, Ring Ouzel, Wheatear, Whinchat, Stonechat, Redstart, Redbreast, Nightingale, Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat, Blackcap, Garden Warbler, Dartford Warbler, Golden-Crested Wren, Chiffchaff, and many more. This text has been elected for modern republication because of its timeless educational value, and we are proud to republish it here with a new introduction on ornithology.
