"EGO." 



IN attempting to collect these few notes on the Bird Life in the 

 neighbourhood of Formby, I wish it to be distinctly understood 

 that it is no skilled naturalist who is bold enough to do so. The 

 writer is merely about as ardent a bird lover as you could find, 

 and one who has always taken a keen interest in the fowls of 

 the air and the beasts of the field, whenever he has had a spare 

 moment from the more serious work of his life.
