The "Field" says :— '* Mr. Walpole-Bond is a good field 

 naturalist. . . Those who, like himself, have paid attention to such matters 

 for many years will appreciate his remarks in proportion, as they tend to 

 confirm their own observations, while less experienced readers will discover 

 much that will be new to them, and which, in several cases we have 

 noted, is not to be found even in well-known works on British birds." 



The " Times " says : — "Mr. Walpole-Bond is a good example of 

 the first-hand observer, who writes simply and clearly about what 

 he sees." 



The "Scotsman" says: — "As a field-naturalist, endowed with 

 the keen eye and ear which, together with ample knowledge, are 

 indispensable requirements of his pursuits, Mr. Walpole-Bond can have 

 few superiors among the ornithologists of the island."
