Abstract
THAT skilful watcher and photographer of birds, Miss E. L. Turner, has published what she describes as “just a record of my own personal observations of the birds I have lived with for twenty years.” She has had opportunities which many will envy, and has used them in a way which all must admire. She has spent the whole of many seasons in a house-boat on Hickling Broad, devoting herself entirely to the observation of bird-life in that interesting locality. By dint of much patient Watching, she has acquired a great knowledge of the intimate lives of some of the most interesting and least accessible species. What she has learnt she faithfully records as a plain narrative, avoiding anthropomorphic interpretation on one hand and not attempting theoretical deduction on the other. The result will give much pleasure to lovers of birds, and at the same time is of considerable scientific interest.
