Report on the Migration of Birds in the Spring and Autumn of 1887. Ninth Report

John Alexander Harvie-Brown and others

The ninth and one of the last of these landmark surveys keeps faith with the birds. It records the 1887 migrations along every British coast, from eastern Scotland to the Isle of Man and the Irish shore, right down to the wings and legs sent in for study. A fitting late chapter in a pioneering effort. Close out a decade of watching the skies.
