Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice older book in good condition. Some tanning wear and marking due to age. Removable protective cover. Year 1933. Hardcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> MORE than a quarter of a century ago I began to study wild birds; since when, few of my leisure hours and holidays have been free for aught else. Some of my friends, dis-mayed with my lack of sociability, have urged for so long that I ought to have material for a book that some years ago I began to think they might be right. Whether the book would find readers has not troubled my friends; and had they made that discreet inquiry I could not have answered them. What writer was ever deterred by so base a thought? A book-like "beauty "-" is its own excuse for being." But a new author, concerning different aspects of whose subject-matter many books already exist, may need to apologise for presumption. What excuses can I offer for a new book about birds? A writer's own enjoyment of his task may excuse the writing but not the pub-lication. The desire to give permanent form to sustained work is natural, but insufficient of itself. To add something material to what is.

Hardcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Northward Ho! for Birds by Ralph Chislett is a reflection on the author?s extensive study of wild birds, pursued over a span of more than twenty-five years. Throughout this period, Chislett has dedicated much of his leisure time and holidays to this passion. Encouraged by friends who value his social observations, he began to compile material for this book, motivated by the desire to share his experiences. He acknowledges the uncertainty of how well the book will resonate with readers but expresses a belief that the act of writing serves its own purpose.In this work, Chislett focuses on less conventional types of birds, documenting his experiences primarily from the wild moorlands of Northern England, Scotland, and Northern Europe. He recognises that while there are already numerous existing texts on birds, his aim is to add something new to the conversation by offering insights into rare species and highlighting the unusual aspects of his encounters. His commitment to studying these more obscure birds might make this book a niche yet enriching addition to ornithological literature.Chislett?s narrative showcases a deep appreciation for the natural world, crafted from close observations of avian life. The book aims to provide a unique perspective on birdwatching, showcasing distinctive behavioural traits and habitats of less familiar species. Through these detailed experiences, Chislett contributes to the broader understanding of birds and aims to foster a greater appreciation for them among his readers.
