Abstract
THE scope of the volume before us is well indicated by its title. Mr. Bond, indeed, keeps us from first to last in the open air observing the habits of the birds and discovering the secrets of their nests. Now the author is at home in the south-east of England, now he visits well-loved haunts in Wales; or, again, he wanders further afield—to the wild coast of Ireland, to the fastnesses of the Central Highlands, or to the moors of Orkney. It is evident that Mr. Bond writes about no mere holiday excursions, but that he has been able to give much time to field ornithology, and has travelled far and wide throughout our islands in its pursuit.
