About This Item
(Edinburgh and London, Oliver and Boyd, 1960). Translated by James Hogarth; 4to; original green cloth rather sunned on spine; no dustwrapper; ex libris and discreet hand-stamp of ornithologist Peter Steyn on front endpapers; very light foxing to endpapers; pp. 254; illustrated by the author with 255 photographs of which 15 are in colour. Very good condition. "In his search for subject matter, Vaucher visited the coasts of Brittany, the Baltic, and our own famous sea bird haunts of the Farnes, Bass Rock, and Tentsmuir. Anyone who knows these places well will at once recognise the sympathetic understanding of the individual beauty of them, described so well in the narrative. With the eye of an artist for detail, Vaucher describes facets of bird behaviour in such a vivid and colourful way that it stirs one's memories of sun-lit days beside the sea, with the clamour of the birds merging with the crash and roar of the surf." - George Waterson. .
