About This Book

The report compiles systematic observations from lighthouse and lightship stations and shipboard watches around the British coasts and nearby islands, arranged by region and supplemented by ocean notes. It presents dates, counts, and qualitative notes for many species, traces seasonal patterns in spring and autumn movements, and records weather and wind conditions that affected passage. Accompanying materials include a station list, a sketch map marking observation points, and appendices with tabulated returns and methodological remarks. The result is a regional, species-level account of migratory timing and occurrence based on coordinated observer reports.

SIXTH REPORT.
(Vol. II., No. 1.)

"A good practical naturalist must be a good observer; and how many qualities are required to make up a good observer! Attention, patience, quickness to seize separate facts, discrimination to keep them unconfused, readiness to combine them, and rapidity and yet slowness of induction; above all, perfect fidelity, which can be seduced neither by the enticements of a favourite theory nor by the temptation to see a little more than actually happens in some passing drama."—Essays, Bishop Wilberforce, Vol. I.
