On the wind-scoured Shetland cliffs, Edmund Selous lay for hours watching seabirds court, quarrel, and raise their young. His patient notes, with seals and digressions along the way, helped invent modern birdwatching as an act of quiet devotion rather than the gun. Intimate and pioneering. Settle onto the northern rocks beside one of the first true bird watchers.
