Synopsis

A Narrative of a Spring Tour in Portugal offers a vivid, field‑note style account of natural life and travel along Portugal’s coast and inland routes.

The author blends careful bird observations with on‑the‑ground travel details, painting a clear portrait of landscapes, towns, and culture.

In this edition, you’ll follow a spring journey from Lisbon to Coimbra, with stops at historical sights, markets, and rural communities. The writing combines practical travel notes with scientific notes on local birds, habitats, and the changing seasons, all told in a accessible, engaging voice.

• Encounter a wide range of Portuguese birds, including coastal seabirds and inland species, with remarks on coloration and behavior.

• Learn how the landscape and climate shape animal life, along with reflections on museums, collections, and local experts.
• Enjoy clear, straightforward prose that suits both curious readers and natural historians.

Ideal for readers who love travel writing, nature study, and regional natural history, especially those curious about Portugal’s wildlife and scenery as seen through a naturalist’s eyes.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
