WITH CONTRIBUTED PAPERS UPON FALCONRY AND OTTER HUNTING, HIS FAVOURITE SPORTS EDITED BY AUBYN TREVOR-BATTYE M.A., F.L.S., ETC. MEMBER OF THE BRITISH ORNITHOLOGISTS' UNION AND ILLUSTRATED BY ARCHIBALD THORBURN London: HUTCHINSON & CO Paternoster Row -*> '•> ^9^3 PRINTED BV HAZELL, WATSON AND VINEV, LD. LONDON AND AYLESBURY. PREFACE Ornithologically this book falls into three natural divisions, each with its own particular appeal. The Mediterranean Journals with their lists of birds obtained or seen would be valuable, if only as models of careful work ; but beyond this, such a companion as their recorder must surely add delightful interest to any voyage in the narrow sea. None of the natural history has been left out ; the Editor has only ventured to remove (as not in any way material to the record) the greater part of the weather log, with purely personal or social references. Although the systematic position and the scientific names of some of the birds have changed since the diaries were written, they are easily recognisable by an ornithologist as they stand : it has therefore seemed well in the great majority of instances to leave them unaltered. The letters on his own countryside are, it is true, vi PREFACE almost entirely concerned with the small occurrences of every day ; but all our knowledge of the ways of living creatures has grown from careful records such as these, and the subject is one of unfailing interest ; if it begins with Gilbert White, it ends—where ? The same thought applies to the Aviary Notes ; how sure a welcome awaits these—the record at first ' hand of a master ' aviarist — is sufficiently brought home to us by the reflection that a periodical has been successfully run for years in this country, devoted to nothing else than an interchange of experiences among those who keep living birds. All the letters, unless it is otherwise stated, were written from Lilford Hall. They are not always given under order of dates ; it has often seemed better to group them about the leading subjects with which they are concerned. An opinion entitled to great respect was expressed to the Editor, that otter hunting and falconry. Lord Lilford's favourite sports, might need some introduction to the general reader ; that otter hunting is not, like fox-hunting, ' everybody's ' sport ; and that, indeed, the idea not uncommonly obtains that the otter is still barbarously despatched with the spear. Falconry, it was pointed out, was a still more restricted pursuit. The Editor has therefore ventured himself to write a short account of otter hunting, and has been fortunate in obtaining a PREFACE vii description of falconry from the pen of the Rev. Gage Earle Freeman.^ Nearly all of the pictures which illustrate this volume are studies of individual birds in the collection at Lilford. Our thanks are rendered to Mr. E. G. B. Meade-Waldo for his help in reading through the proof-sheets, and his kind interest in the preparation of the book. 1 Author of Falconry: its History, Claims, and Practice. We have much pleasure in quoting in this connection a passage we find in a letter written by Lord Lilford to Mr. Freeman in 1895 :— " You have done more to keep English falconers in the right way than any man now living. No such practical work as yours has been written on falconry this century." Lord Lilford's F.wourite Flower. — — LORD LILFORD'S PUBLISHED WORKS. Coloured Figures of the British Birds. The First Edition of this work, which was issued in parts by subscription, commenced in October, 1885, and the second in April, 1891. 'Edition' is really a misnomer; for when in 189 1 it was decided to admit a further set of subscribers (at rather a higher rate of subscription) only some eighteen (or so) of the plates had yet appeared. These were retouched and, in the opinion of many good judges, actually improved. Thenceforward the First and Second Editions were identical, running together and ending simultaneously. Notes 071 tlu Birds of Northamptonshire and Neighbourhood. This book was published in 1895. Some parts of it had already appeared in the form of communicated papers (see below) and some had been printed for private circulation. But besides these books Lord Lilford's literary labours include a variety of articles in the Zoologist, the Ibis, and elsewhere. Certain chance notes e.g., in the Field—are omitted, otherwise the following list is believed to be complete : In the Ibis. Under the name of the Hon. Thomas L. Powys. i860.

  • The Avifauna of Mt. Karimui, Chimbu Province, Papua New Guinea, Including Evidence for Long-Term Population Dynamics in Undisturbed Tropical Forest
    Ben Freeman & Alexandra M. Class Freeman 30 Bull. B.O.C. 2014 134(1) The avifauna of Mt. Karimui, Chimbu Province, Papua New Guinea, including evidence for long-term population dynamics in undisturbed tropical forest Ben Freeman & Alexandra M. Class Freeman Received 27 July 2013 Summary.—We conducted ornithological feld work on Mt. Karimui and in the surrounding lowlands in 2011–12, a site frst surveyed for birds by J. Diamond in 1965. We report range extensions, elevational records and notes on poorly known species observed during our work. We also present a list with elevational distributions for the 271 species recorded in the Karimui region. Finally, we detail possible changes in species abundance and distribution that have occurred between Diamond’s feld work and our own. Most prominently, we suggest that Bicolored Mouse-warbler Crateroscelis nigrorufa might recently have colonised Mt. Karimui’s north-western ridge, a rare example of distributional change in an avian population inhabiting intact tropical forests. The island of New Guinea harbours a diverse, largely endemic avifauna (Beehler et al. 1986). However, ornithological studies are hampered by difculties of access, safety and cost. Consequently, many of its endemic birds remain poorly known, and feld workers continue to describe new taxa (Prat 2000, Beehler et al. 2007), report large range extensions (Freeman et al. 2013) and elucidate natural history (Dumbacher et al. 1992). Of necessity, avifaunal studies are usually based on short-term feld work. As a result, population dynamics are poorly known and limited to comparisons of diferent surveys or diferences noticeable over short timescales (Diamond 1971, Mack & Wright 1996).

  • The Gaelic Names of Birds
    — 240, Gaelic Society of Inverness. Guidhim air an da Ostal deug Gun mise dhol eug a nochd. A Chriosta clmmliachdaich na gloii-e, A mhic na h-Oighe 's gloine cursa, Seachainn sinn bho thigh nam pian, Tha gu h-iosal, dorcha, duinte. Fhad's a bhios a' cholluinn na cadal Biodh an t-anam air bharraibh na tirimi* An co-chomunn nan Naomli. Amen. 20th March 1885. At the meeting on this date the Secretary, on l>ehalf of Mr Charles Fergusson, Cally, Gatehouse, Kirkcudbright, author of the Gaelic Names of Plants, &c. (vide Transactions Vol. VII.), read a paper entitled— " The Gaelic names of birds, with notes on their haunts and habits, and on the old superstitions, poetry, proverbs, and other bird lore of the Highlands." The paper was as follows : THE GAELIC NAMES OF BIRDS. Part I. The collecting and preserving of the Gaelic Names of Birds is a most important but much neglected work, and one which is getting every day more difficult, from their being less used now, and from the death of old people who knew them. Not only are the Gaelic names dying out, but I am sorry to say many of tlie birds themselves are dying out as well. Many of our noblest na- tive bn-ds—the Great Auk, the Bustard, Stork, Bittern, &c., are totally extinct in the Highlands ; whilst the Golden Eagle, Sea Eagle, Osprey, Ger Falcon, Goshawk, and a score of other noble birds, though quite common in every glen half a century ago, are now only to be found in the most remote and inaccessible corners of the Highlands and Islands ; and if the ruthless slaughter that has been going on for the last generation goes on a few years longer, they will soon all be as extinct as the Great Auk, or the Dodo of New Zealand.

  • Adaptive Bill Morphology for Enhanced Tool Manipulation in New Caledonian Crows Received: 30 November 2015 Hiroshi Matsui1,*, Gavin R
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Adaptive bill morphology for enhanced tool manipulation in New Caledonian crows Received: 30 November 2015 Hiroshi Matsui1,*, Gavin R. Hunt2,*, Katja Oberhofer3, Naomichi Ogihara4, Kevin J. McGowan5, Accepted: 19 February 2016 Kumar Mithraratne3, Takeshi Yamasaki6, Russell D. Gray2,7 & Ei-Ichi Izawa1 Published: 09 March 2016 Early increased sophistication of human tools is thought to be underpinned by adaptive morphology for efficient tool manipulation. Such adaptive specialisation is unknown in nonhuman primates but may have evolved in the New Caledonian crow, which has sophisticated tool manufacture. The straightness of its bill, for example, may be adaptive for enhanced visually-directed use of tools. Here, we examine in detail the shape and internal structure of the New Caledonian crow’s bill using Principal Components Analysis and Computed Tomography within a comparative framework. We found that the bill has a combination of interrelated shape and structural features unique within Corvus, and possibly birds generally. The upper mandible is relatively deep and short with a straight cutting edge, and the lower mandible is strengthened and upturned. These novel combined attributes would be functional for (i) counteracting the unique loading patterns acting on the bill when manipulating tools, (ii) a strong precision grip to hold tools securely, and (iii) enhanced visually-guided tool use. Our findings indicate that the New Caledonian crow’s innovative bill has been adapted for tool manipulation to at least some degree. Early increased sophistication of tools may require the co-evolution of morphology that provides improved manipulatory skills. Human tool behaviour is underpinned by adaptations associated with enhanced manipulation of tools and tool material.

  • Nests and Eggs of Ceylon Birds
    Nests and Eggs of Ceylon Birds W . W . A . P h il li p s , F.L.S., F.Z.S., M.B.O.U. (With Seven Plates) INTRODUCTION There are already in existence several excellent works on the birds of Ceylon, in which are included a few paragraphs on the nesting habits of each species. There is, at present, however, no publication ■dealing exclusively and at length with the nests and eggs of those species that are known to breed with us. The nearest approach to such is Stuart-Baker’s monumental work on the Nidification of the Birds of the Indian Empire, a publication, running into four large volumes, that contains descriptions of the nests aod eggs of the birds of the whole of the Indian area including Ceylon. Stuart-Baker’s book records the general nesting habits of the majority of our Ceylon birds. It is, however, an expensive work and is not readily available to many of our local ornithologists. Moreover, ihe accounts given in it, of the habits of our Ceylon species are, in most cases, taken from the notes of other observers and are not derived from personal observations. Further, very few photographs of the nests and eggs of Ceylon or Indian birds have been published and few coloured plates, depicting the eggs of our birds, have yet appeared. The object of the present series of papers is, therefore, give, as fully as space and knowledge will permit, a comprehensive account of the breeding habits of all our resident species and to illustrate, with photographs, many of them with their nests or eggs.

Blue Bird-of-paradise Tour Summary Our tour of Papua New Guinea began as we boarded our aircraft to the South Pacific islands of the Bismarck Archipelago for the pre-tour extension. First-off, we visited the rainforest of the Pokili Wildlife Management Area which holds the largest breeding colony of Melanesian Scrubfowl in the world. It was an amazing experience to wander through the massive colony of these bizarre birds. We also managed outstanding views of the gorgeous Black-headed Paradise-Kingfisher, Blue-eyed Cockatoo and Red- knobbed Imperial-Pigeon. Some participants were fortunate to spot the rare Black Honey Buzzard. Then we took time to explore several small, remote tropical islands in the Bismarck Sea and were rewarded with sightings of Black-naped Tern, the boldly attractive Beach Kingfisher, Mackinlay’s Cuckoo-Dove and the extraordinary shaggy Nicobar Pigeon. Back on the main island, we visited the Pacific Adventist University, where we found a roosting Papuan Frogmouth, White-headed Shelduck and Comb-crested Jacana.
