Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Britain´s Birds and Their Nests The main reason for the publication of this book is Mr Rankin´s magnificent series of 130 coloured plates of British-nesting birds. The series includes nearly all the species which nest in the British Isles in appreciable numbers, and a few rarer birds of special interest. No rigid rule has been followed in the selection, and the reasons for inclusion or exclusion vary from case to case. Where numerical importance was not a decisive factor, the question was usually determined by the presence or absence of points of special interest. Somewhat uncommon birds are thus often excluded because near relatives more frequently met with have already found places, while much rarer species are included because they are the sole representatives of their respective groups. Each plate shows the adult male in full plumage. Important differences in this respect between the sexes are briefly indicated in the text; if very marked, the female is also shown in the plate. The characteristic variations in plumage caused by age and change of season are also referred to. In addition to the bird, the nest is portrayed; if it is of such a nature that the eggs are not visible in suu, an egg, drawn on the same scale, is given as an inset. As nestlings could not be shown as well as eggs, two special plates have been added to make good the deficiency (see pp. 89, 225). Convenience has in several cases necessitated the portrayal of birds under somewhat unusual circumstances; the most important cases are those of the various Ducks, where the male is shown beside the nest (see p. 134).
