PROSPECTUS.



Mr. Walpole-Bond is well known as a student

of birds in the field, and this book is the outcome of

much experience and persistent observation.


The birds which form the subjects of these

Field-Studies are amongst those which are rare as

nesting species in this country, or scarce and difficult

to locate, and thus comparatively seldom observed.


The author has been able during a number of

years of very active field-work, to gain a wide ex¬

perience of these birds and to make such close and

intimate observations of their habits that much of

the information conveyed in these pleasantly written

essays has the charm of novelty and the value of

originality.



The scope of the book is indicated by the

following titles of chapters :—



Dartford Warblers.


The Pied Flycatcher.


Sussex Crossbills.


Cirl Buntings in Sussex.

Choughs.


Ravens.


Concerning the Wood-Lark.

The “Woodcock” Owl.

Hen-Harriers.



The onee-Conimon Buzzard.
