Excerpt from Birds Beasts and Fishes of the Norfolk Broadland
These short essays on birds have been written with some trepidation; for, in truth, the more the bird admirer studies and reads the best to be had on the subject, the more he becomes convinced that nearly everything has been said that there is to say upon the habits Of British birds; and he will admire in particular the genius of Macgillivray - the best open-air registrar Britain has had - the great powers Of observation and love of sport of the late Mr. Booth and of Sir Ralph payne-galway, and the compilation, with its literary flavour, of Mr. Seebohm.
