About This Book

The report assembles systematic observations of bird movements collected at lighthouses, lightships, and coastal stations around the British and Irish coasts during spring and autumn 1887. It lists stations and maps, presents regional returns, diary extracts from individual keepers, and a statistical synthesis that distils species occurrences, timing, directions, and notable occurrences such as nocturnal gatherings around lanterns and occasional captures or mortalities. Material is organized by coast and station, with tabulated returns and interpretive summaries to reveal migration patterns, seasonal peaks, and variations between districts.

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.
