Synopsis
Excerpt from The Bird Watcher in the Shetlands: With Some Notes on Seals and Digressions
I have no doubt that these pages contain some errors of observation or inference which I am not yet aware of - but those who only glance at them may sometimes be inclined to correct me, where, later, I correct myself. It is best, I think, to let one''s mis takes stand recorded against one, for mistakes have their interest, and often emphasize some truth. Honesty, too, would suffer in their suppression - and besides, if one has got in some idea or re?ection that pleases one, or a piece of descriptive writing that does not seem amiss, how tiresome to have to scratch it out, merely because it is founded on a wrong apprehension! - the spire to come tumbling just for the want of a base! For these reasons, therefore - especially the last, when it applies - I have not suppressed my errors, even where I happen to know them. There they stand, if only to encourage others who may be labouring in the same field as myself - which makes one more high-minded motive.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a beautifully written journal of an author deeply involved in the lives of the seabirds they watch over. There is a particular focus on the relationship with the Arctic skua and how its behaviour and physical changes can be seen as an example of sexual selection. The author explores the idea that the increasingly varied and beautiful plumage is a result of female choice over many generations. There is a strong naturalist theme throughout, with richly descriptive writing which intricately portrays the sights and sounds of the island's shores. The author also shares personal reflections on the natural world, and the ethical dilemmas of observing and writing about it. A must read for anyone interested in the interconnectedness of ecosystems, especially those who find themselves drawn to the wild shores of the UK. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334150623_0
