Our Summer Migrants An Account of the Migratory Birds Which Pass the Summer in the British Islands.

"Our Summer Migrants" by James Edmund Harting is a late 19th-century scientific book which carefully documents the migratory birds that visit the British Isles each summer, sharing information about their habits, nesting, and migration routes. Harting begins by highlighting the wonder of these birds' seasonal returns from far-off places, setting the stage for a detailed look at species like the Wheatear, Whinchat, and Stonechat, blending personal anecdotes with scientific knowledge to deepen the reader's understanding and appreciation of these natural visitors.
