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.

"It is much to be wished that some of the light-keepers of our lighthouses would make notes of their observations concerning seals, whales, birds, fishes, and other animals. Such records would be valuable; and might not some of them occupy their leisure hours in the study of Natural History?.... Interesting observations would then certainly be made, and new facts added to our stores of knowledge."—'Chambers's Journal,' p. 831; Dec. 23, 1876.
