English ornithologist and amateur astronomer. He wrote on natural
history, local history and Cheshire for a number of publications and
books. Other notable works by this author include: "The Vertebrate Fauna
of Cheshire and Liverpool Bay" (1910), "The Migration of Birds" (1912),
and "Bird Haunts and Nature Memories" (1922). Many vintage books such as
this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that
we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern,
high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new
biography of the author.
