Think I've kind of neglected this thread of late so its time to add some more. As I have said I like to rumage through second hand book shops for old bird books, and can't help buying the more quirky or downright incorrect.
This next book "Birds of the Countryside" third edition by Frank Finn B.A. F.Z.S. Published in 1910 by Hutchinson, Is one that might make you feel a little uneasy. To start with most of the pictures are of stuffed posed birds like these Sparrowhawks, or are quite odd as the author had no problem publishing this ill looking Fulmar.
