Birdsnesting: Being A Complete Description Of The Nests And Eggs Of Birds Which Breed In Great Britain And Ireland (1861)

Birdsnesting is a comprehensive guide to the nests and eggs of birds that breed in Great Britain and Ireland. Originally published in 1861, the book is written by Edward Newman, a prominent naturalist and ornithologist of the time. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the identification and description of different bird nests, while the second part covers the identification and description of bird eggs. Newman provides detailed descriptions of each bird species, including their nesting habits, materials used to build their nests, and the appearance and characteristics of their eggs. The book also includes illustrations of the nests and eggs of each species, as well as information on the habitats and distributions of the birds. Birdsnesting is a valuable resource for bird enthusiasts, naturalists, and anyone interested in the study of birds. It provides a wealth of information on the nesting and breeding behaviors of a wide variety of bird species, and is a fascinating glimpse into the world of birds in Great Britain and Ireland during the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
