About This Book

A committee report compiles systematic observations made from lighthouses and lightships around the British and nearby North Atlantic coasts during spring and autumn of 1881. Organized by region, it summarizes station returns that record species seen, migration timings and routes, and the influence of winds and weather on movement. Species-specific notes note both common and unusual visitors, while the authors assess data completeness, identify main coastal migration highways observed from key stations, and recommend continued standardized monitoring to strengthen understanding of coastal bird migration patterns.

J. A. Harvie-Brown

J. A. Harvie-Brown was a Scottish ornithologist known for his detailed studies on bird migration in the late 19th century. His significant contributions include a series of reports documenting the migration patterns of birds during the spring and autumn seasons from 1879 to 1887. These reports not only provided valuable data for the scientific community but also highlighted the importance of observing and understanding avian behavior in relation to environmental changes. Harvie-Brown's work remains a notable part of ornithological literature, reflecting the early efforts to systematically study and record bird migrations.
