Description
Excerpt from Studies in Bird Migration, Vol. 2: With Maps, Weather Charts, and Other Illustrations
Among the most interesting of the varied movements of birds observed in the British Isles and their vicinity are those remarkable intermigrations which take place in spring and autumn between the south-eastern coast of England and the Opposite shores of the Continent, and which mainly come under notice at the numerous lightships stationed between the mouth of the Humber and the Straits of Dover.
If these important ?ights across the southern waters of the North Sea were not actually discovered through the investigations of the Migration Committee appointed by the British Association, it is assuredly owing to the labours of that body, and especially to those of my late and most intimate friend, Mr John Cordeaux, that attention was first seriously drawn to them.
