The object which I had in view, when, many years ago, I commenced the observations recorded in this work, was at some convenient season to lay before the public Descriptions of the Birds of Great Britain, more extended, and, if possible, more correct, than any previously offered. To accomplish so ambitious a purpose, I judged it necessary to direct my attention to the living objects themselves, rather than to their skins in collections, or their portraits in books, to follow them in their haunts, observe their manners, procure unmutilated specimens, carefully examine all their parts, and thus be enabled to bring forward facts that had been entirely overlooked, and place others in a light in which they had not previously been viewed. Short specific characters, slight descriptions or notices, and measurements of parts, I could easily have obtained by visit ing museums and consulting books; but the elaboration of a detailed account of the species, such as is to be found in the following pages, could obviously be accomplished only by much labour of a different kind.
