| Summary | "Our Summer Migrants" by James Edmund Harting is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work provides a detailed account of the various migratory birds that spend their summer in the British Isles, aiming to educate readers about their habits, nesting behaviors, and the specifics of their migratory patterns. Harting's keen observations and extensive knowledge of ornithology offer insights into these fascinating species. At the start of the account, Harting introduces the subject of summer migratory birds and highlights the joy of observing their arrival and behaviors in the countryside. He discusses the mysterious nature of these bird migrations, noting the regularity with which they return to the British Isles each year after long journeys from distant lands. The opening portion sets the stage for detailed explorations of specific species such as the Wheatear, Whinchat, and Stonechat among others, promising a blend of anecdotal observations and scientific insights throughout the subsequent chapters.
